Areas that saw more snow accumulated during the pre-Christmas storm are at higher risk of flooding as the snow melts in conjunction with the rain
Canada’s federal weather agency says significant rainfall and unusually higher temperatures have increased the risk of flooding across several provinces, especially parts of the country that are recovering from last week’s snowstorm.
Environment Canada has issued similar warnings for much of southern Quebec, expecting a total of 25 to 40 millimetres of rain until tomorrow morning and warning residents about the dangers of heavy downpours – which can cause flash floods and water pooling on roads, and possible localized flooding in low-lying areas.
In British Columbia, Environment Canada has issued a winter-storm warning in Haines Road from Pleasant Camp to Chilkat Pass, “It isn’t impossible to get these fluctuations, even in the middle of winter, but it does look like we are going through quite a mild stretch – even by typical standards,” Mr. Owsiak said.
