Eastern Vancouver Island could see significant rainfall over the next 24 hours that could result in washouts near rivers, creeks and culverts.
Environment and Climate Change Canada say there’s potential for rain to impact the entire eastern island region, but the hardest hit areas will be from Nanoose Bay to Cambell River.
Peak rainfall is expected to be between 4 to 6 millimetres per hour in low lying areas, with the potential of accumulating snow in higher up areas this afternoon and evening.
The public is being urged to monitor weather patterns and changing conditions.
The weather system is expected to last until Sunday afternoon.
