Service Notice – February 2026: The Environment and Climate Change Canada (ECCC) CAP Service undergoes changes from time to time as the business of alerting evolves. For 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 Spring 2026 deployment. Data changes will appear in CAP following this deployment and 2) other minor improvements and corrections.

A long episode of rain, at times heavy, is expected. What: 50 to 100 mm of rain When: Tuesday afternoon to Thursday night 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 beginning Tuesday 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. The heavy rain will end Thursday 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.
