The River Forecast Centre has issued a High Streamflow Advisory for the South Coast including North Shore, Fraser Valley and Metro Vancouver
A series of frontal systems is expected to pass across British Columbia over the next few days, bringing episodes of heavier rainfall across the South Coast.
Environment Canada has issued rainfall warnings for the region, with total accumulations of 60 to 90 mm expected by Tuesday.
Temperatures are expected to rise into Tuesday, with snowline forecasted to rise from 500m to 1600m from Monday to Tuesday. Additional runoff from shallow mid-elevation snowmelt is also expected, the centre said.
River levels are also expected to rise in response to heavy rainfall, with peak levels expected early to mid-Tuesday.
The public is advised to stay clear of the fast-flowing rivers and potentially unstable riverbanks during the high-river-level period.
The River Forecast Centre will continue to monitor and provide updates.
