Hot weather is expected to accelerate snowmelt throughout the Interior through Friday, followed by heavy rainfall, B.C. says
The first spell of summer-like weather in British Columbia has sped up snowmelt in the mountains, causing flooding and mudslides that have prompted evacuation orders and highway closures in several areas of the province’s southern Interior.
Stretches of highways 1 and 97 remain closed in both directions as the routes intersect in the Village of Cache Creek, where Mayor John Ranta has said floodwaters were flowing in one door of the community firehall and out the other. Meanwhile, the Regional District of Central Kootenay as put three more properties on evacuation alert in response to a landslide and debris flowing Talbot Creek in the community of Vallican, east of Kamloops, where photos shared by the district show the water has carved a deep channel through Little Slocan South Road.
