British Columbia’s River Forecast Centre has upgraded its ranking of the East Kootenay region to flood watch.
Environment Canada has also issued a Special Weather Statement covering the same time period for the Elk Valley and East Kootenay, which is expected to experience the heaviest rainfall at about 30-45 millimetres. The advisory means that river levels are rising or expected to rise, and while no major flooding is expected, minor flooding is possible.In response to the flood watch the centre issued Saturday for the North Thompson River, including tributaries around Barriere and Clearwater, the District of Clearwater activated its Emergency Operations Centre to Level 1.
