Alert Details

Heavy rain is expected. The ground, already near saturation, has little ability to absorb further rainfall.

Location: North Coast - Inland sections including Stewart, Terrace, and Kitimat.

Total Rainfall: 50 mm for Stewart and Terrace, up to 100 mm for Kitimat.

Time span: Beginning today and continuing until early Monday morning.

Remarks: A strong Pacific frontal system is approaching the North Coast. Rain will begin this morning near Stewart, and begin this afternoon near Terrace and Kitimat. Heavy rain will develop as the frontal system pushes inland and is expected tonight and all day Sunday.

Heavy downpours can cause flash floods and water pooling on roads. Localized flooding in low-lying areas is possible. Rapidly rising rivers and creeks can sweep away bridges, culverts, buildings, and people. Landslides may occur in vulnerable areas such as steep slopes.

Don't approach washouts near rivers, creeks and culverts.
