Flood watches remain in effect in some river systems in northwestern and northeastern B.C.

The River Forecast Centre has lifted high streamflow advisories across southern BC as the risk of spring flooding drops, but it is maintaining flood watches for several river systems in northwestern and northeastern BC.

Flood watches remain in effect for a section of the Dean River on the central coast east of Bella Coola and for sections of the Skeena River near Terrace, the Bulkley River around Smithers and the Liard River and its tributaries in northeastern BC.

High streamflow advisories are also maintained for many rivers and streams across the extreme northwest corner of BC.

In the Terrace area, the Regional District of Kitimat-Stikine is expected to update evacuation orders posted Sunday for the communities of Old Remo, New Remo and Usk as roads and about 20 buildings in those villages have been flooded by the Skeena River, but drier conditions have eased the risk.
