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. 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 – février 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 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 au printemps 2026. Des changements de données apparaîtront dans le PAC à la suite de ce déploiement et 2) d’autres améliorations et corrections mineures.

Prolonged Atmospheric River Event Where: West Vancouver Island. When: Now until Wednesday morning. What: Total rainfall accumulations near 150 mm with possible higher amounts locally reaching 200 mm. Impacts: - Prolonged heavy rain on snow combined with mountain snow melt could lead to very enhanced responses in river systems and the potential for flooding. - Extensive water pooling on roads and washouts possible. - Enhanced risk of landslides due to saturation of the ground. Remark: An atmospheric river will remain over the South Coast of B.C. until Wednesday bringing prolonged periods of heavy rain. With freezing levels near 2000 to 3000 metres, snowmelt from higher elevations may increase the impacts associated with this rainfall event. The heaviest rainfall is expected throughout today and tonight. ### Water will likely pool on roads and in low-lying areas. Some travel delays are possible. Landslides may occur in vulnerable areas such as steep slopes, deforested areas or recent burn scars. Fast-moving and rapidly rising water can sweep vehicles away and damage infrastructure. 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.
Watch for washouts near rivers, creeks and culverts.

Prolonged Atmospheric River Event Where: - Northern sections of Inland Vancouver Island including Gold River. When: Now until Wednesday morning. What: Total rainfall accumulations of 100 to 150 mm. 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. Remarks: An atmospheric river will remain over the South Coast of B.C. until Wednesday bringing prolonged periods of heavy rain. With freezing levels near 2000 to 3000 metres, snowmelt from higher elevations may increase the impacts associated with this rainfall event. The heaviest rainfall is expected throughout today and tonight. The rain will ease on Wednesday morning. Total rainfall amounts will vary across the region, but between 100 to 150 mm can be expected over northern inland regions of Vancouver Island by Wednesday morning. Southern sections, including Port Alberni and Cowichan Lake, may receive near 50 to 70 mm of rain. ### Water will likely pool on roads and in low-lying areas. Some travel delays are possible. Landslides may occur in vulnerable areas such as steep slopes, deforested areas or recent burn scars. Fast-moving and rapidly rising water can sweep vehicles away and damage infrastructure.
