December 6, 2024 - Due to heavy rainfall in the forecast, the BC River Forecast Centre has issued a High Streamflow Advisory for:
- Central Coast including Bella Coola, Kingcome and surrounding areas;
- South Coast including Sunshine Coast, Howe Sound, Sea-to-Sky, North Shore Mountains, Metro Vancouver, and Fraser Valley; and
- North and West Vancouver Island.
Please use caution near rivers and on dikes, especially with children and pets, as the rising water levels could have strong currents and could destabilize riverbanks. Learn more: pittmeadows.ca/riverwatch.
A rainfall warning is in effect for Metro Vancouver, issued by Environment Canada. Heavy rain is expected this evening (Friday, December 6) through Saturday morning. The heaviest rain will ease later Saturday morning as the frontal system passes through. Be on the lookout for:
- Water pooling on roads.
