Service Notice – April 2026: The Environment and Climate Change Canada (ECCC) CAP Service undergoes changes from time to time as the business of alerting evolves. For Spring 2026, changes are expected to include... 1) ECCC's initiative to introduce free-form polygons to represent the true threat area of a weather hazard is tentatively set for June 2026 deployment. Data changes will appear in CAP following this deployment, 2) marine alerts will now be issued for smaller zone splits in certain areas of Atlantic and Pacific waters and 3) other minor improvements and corrections. For more information on these changes: https://comm.collab.science.gc.ca/mailman3/hyperkitty/list/dd_info@comm.collab.science.gc.ca/ | Notification de service – avril 2026: Le service du PAC d’Environnement et Changement climatique Canada (ECCC) subit périodiquement des changements à mesure que le système d’alerte évolue. Pour le printemps 2026, il y aura des changements incluant... 1) l’initiative d’ECCC visant à introduire des polygones libres pour représenter la véritable zone de menace d’un danger météorologique devrait être déployée provisoirement en juin 2026. Des changements de données apparaîtront dans le PAC à la suite de ce déploiement, 2) les alertes marines seront désormais émises pour des subdivisions de zones plus petites dans certaines régions des eaux de l’Atlantique et du Pacifique et 3) d’autres améliorations et corrections mineures.

Long Duration Moderate to Heavy Rain What: Total rainfall amounts of 40 to 80 mm. Where: Yoho Park - Kootenay Park, East Kootenay, and Elk Valley. When: Tonight to Tuesday. Remarks: A potent Alberta low pressure system will bring moderate to heavy rain to southeastern BC this weekend and into early next week. As snow levels decrease to as low as 1600 metres, travellers and recreationalists are advised of winter conditions over higher elevations of the Yoho Park - Kootenay Park region. Currently, there is still uncertainty associated with the exact track of this system, and rainfall amounts will vary greatly across southeastern BC. Highest rainfall amounts near 60 to 80 mm are possible over north- and east-facing slopes as well as communities and highways closest to the Alberta border. Up to 40 mm of rainfall is possible for areas further west. There is an elevated risk of flooding, landslides and washouts from heavy rain, and rain on snow in the mountains. Please continue to monitor your local forecast throughout the event. The B.C. River Forecast Centre provides information on current streamflow conditions and flooding alerts. Check DriveBC for road conditions. ### Please continue to monitor alerts and forecasts issued by Environment Canada. To report severe weather, send an email to BCstorm@ec.gc.ca or post reports on X using #BCStorm.
