Another series of drenching storms is about to sweep over southern BC and Environment Canada says most of Vancouver Island and the inner south coast, including the Fraser Valley should see heavy rain between tomorrow and Thursday.
The weather office says several storms are embedded in the approaching atmospheric river.
The River Forecast Centre says the downpours, along with mild temperatures after about two weeks of frigid conditions and considerable snowfall, have the potential to melt lower-level snowpacks, possibly causing ``minor to significant flooding.''
The centre has posted high streamflow advisories for Vancouver Island and the south coast but says conditions should not be as extreme as the deadly atmospheric river that brought floods and landslides to the Fraser Valley and southern BC in mid-November.
