Where: - Metro Vancouver-North Shore including West Vancouver and North Vancouver - Metro Vancouver-northeast including Coquiltam and Maple Ridge - Howe Sound 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. Remarks: An atmospheric river will remain over the B.C. South Coast until Wednesday morning bringing prolonged periods of rain at times heavy.
