Environment Canada issued several rainfall and wind warnings Saturday for Vancouver Island, Haida Gwaii, the Sunshine Coast and parts of Metro Vancouver.
Environment Canada says several regions in British Columbia should brace for high winds and heavy rainfall this holiday weekend, warning of possible flooding and power outages as a pair of weather systems flow toward Vancouver Island and the South Coast.
Environment Canada is forecasting what it calls a “long duration rainfall event” and says some parts of the province will see up to 80 mm of rain, causing rivers to swell and possible flash flooding due to heavy downpours. East Vancouver Island between Duncan and Nanaimo is also expected to be hit with 20 to 50 mm of rain. Rainfall will be higher on the west coast and the inland portion of the Island, with up to 80 mm of rain forecast.
