Heavy rainfall in parts of British Columbia affects travel as roads closed
BY , Jun 15, 2020 9:28 PM - REPORT AN ERRORA number of roads in northern British Columbia have been closed after heavy rain caused washouts and localized flooding on Monday.
Environment Canada said the ground in the area isn't able to absorb further rainfall because it was already near the saturation point.
Communities in the north Peace had received between 30 and 80 millimetres of rainfall by Monday morning.
Environment Canada said the highest amounts were observed near the Rockies over communities like Hudson Hope.
A further 15 to 20 millimetres was forecast before the rain is expected to end.
The River Forecast Centre issued a high streamflow advisory for a large swath of eastern B.C. from the Yukon boundary all the way south to the border with the United States.
