VANCOUVER — No weather warnings were posted across British Columbia for the first time in weeks, and flood watches on the south coast have been lifted, but Environment Canada says more heavy rain is on the way.
The River Forecast Centre downgraded a flood watch in the Fraser Valley to a high streamflow advisory before noon Wednesday and ended all other watches and advisories covering waterways on Vancouver Island and the inner south coast.
Communities around the Georgia Strait were also keeping a close eye on sea levels as more exceptionally high tides were due Thursday and Friday. In eastern B.C., recent snowstorms followed by warming temperatures prompted Avalanche Canada to issue a special warning about a potential for avalanches over the next five days within a huge swath of backcountry from north of Prince George, south almost to Castlegar and Kimberley.
"This has brought the conditions to a tipping point where dangerous avalanches are likely," the statement said.
