What: 50 to 100 mm of rain

When: This afternoon to Wednesday morning

Where: Fraser Valley - West including Abbotsford Fraser Valley - Central including Chilliwack

Impacts: -Prolonged heavy rain on snow combined with mountain snow melt could lead to very enhanced responses in river systems and potential for flooding. -Extensive water pooling on roads and washouts may occur. -Enhanced risk of landslides due to saturation of landscapes.

Additional information: A series of weather systems will move onto the B.C. south coast bringing rain, at times heavy, to the western and central Fraser Valley. Light, intermittent rain today will intensify beginning this afternoon. A prolonged period of rainfall will result in up to 100 mm of rain to parts of the Fraser Valley, particularly near the mountains.
