Higher-level flood warning for Telkwa River in northwest B.C., advisories and watches issued
A series of atmospheric rivers has been moving across British Columbia’s north and central coasts and spreading into the Interior.
The centre says the river east of Terrace peaked Tuesday, registering flow levels between a 20- and 50-year return period, while most other coastal rivers had been peaking at levels typically seen every one to five years. Wednesday’s bulletin says no major flooding is expected in the Interior, but heavy rainfall could worsen runoff from areas scorched by wildfire.
Environment Canada has meanwhile issued a series of wind warnings and special weather statements throughout much of the province.
