A long episode of rain, at times heavy, is expected. What: 50 to 100 mm of rain When: This afternoon to Wednesday morning Where: Fraser Valley - West including Abbotsford Fraser Valley - Central including Chilliwack Impacts: -Prolonged heavy rain on snow combined with mountain snow melt could lead to very enhanced responses in river systems and potential for flooding. -Extensive water pooling on roads and washouts may occur. -Enhanced risk of landslides due to saturation of landscapes. Additional information: A series of weather systems will move onto the B.C. south coast bringing rain, at times heavy, to the western and central Fraser Valley. Light, intermittent rain today will intensify beginning this afternoon. A prolonged period of rainfall will result in up to 100 mm of rain to parts of the Fraser Valley, particularly near the mountains. River systems may see enhanced responses due to the heavy rain and high freezing levels leading to melting snow. Current indications show another intense rainfall event for Thursday night into Friday morning. ### Water will likely pool on roads and in low-lying areas. Some travel delays are possible. 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.

Don't drive through flooded roadways. Watch for washouts near rivers, creeks and culverts.
