Environment Canada: Rain to fall on Lower Mainland between 50 and 70 mm by evening
Flash floods and water pooling can be caused by heavy downpours
According to Environment Canada, the Lower Mainland can expect to see 50 to 70 mm of rain before it drops off by the evening.
The heavy rain is the result of a moisture-laden weather system spreading across B.C.’s south coast, including the central, North Shore and Northeast areas of Metro Vancouver, the Fraser Valley, Howe Sound, Greater Victoria, and East Vancouver Island, Duncan to Nanaimo.
“Heavy downpours can cause flash floods and water pooling on roads,” Environment Canada’s warning says.
Overnight, the rains will turn to showers in Fraser Valley
