VANCOUVER \u2014 Environment Canada has issued a rainfall warning for parts of Metro Vancouver as well as the lower Sunshine Coast and Howe Sound regions.<\/p>\n
The weather agency says a frontal system that’s “unseasonably” laden with moisture is expected to cross British Columbia’s south coast on Friday.<\/p>\n
It says the system is forecast to bring strong winds and rain that will become heavier throughout in the day, with up to 80 mm expected at higher elevations.<\/p>\n
The bulletin says the rain is expected to taper off in late Friday on the Sunshine Coast and after midnight across eastern Metro Vancouver.<\/p>\n
Environment Canada is warning the heavy rain could push water levels up for rivers and creeks, and anyone in or around waterways should stay alert.<\/p>\n
B.C.’s River Forecast Centre has also issued high streamflow advisories for a number of regions along the south coast, including the North Shore of Metro Vancouver, northern Fraser Valley, Whistler and Pemberton.<\/p>\n
Environment Canada says in its statement that there is potential for limited visibility during the downpours, which will be heaviest during the Friday afternoon commute.<\/p>\n
The agency says water pooling on roadways will raise the risk of hydroplaning.<\/p>\n
