Even as flood waters recede on the Sumas Prairie, residents and drivers in the Fraser Valley and Fraser Canyon are being warned to expect more impacts from a new weather system moving in overnight Sunday (Dec. 14).<\/p>\n
A new weather system bringing heavy rain and winds is moving over B.C.\u2019s South Coast Sunday night and into Monday, with the heaviest impacts expected on Monday morning, Dec. 15.<\/p>\n
The latest weather system, coming hot on the heels of the atmospheric river that saw significant flooding across the region, has the B.C. Ministry of Emergency Management and Climate Readiness on high alert \u2013 with particular attention to the areas around the Sumas and Chilliwack Rivers.<\/p>\n
Minister of Emergency Management Kelly Greene, speaking at a provincial briefing on Sunday afternoon, warned that residents and drivers need to brace themselves for the next round of stormy weather and heavy rain.<\/p>\n
Greene said about 325 properties remain under evacuation order, with another 1,000 under alert.<\/p>\n
\u201cWe aren\u2019t through this yet, and it\u2019s important to be preapred,\u201d she said.<\/p>\n
The ministry reopened Highway 1 in both directions as of Sunday, but Green warned that could change heading into Monday\u2019s commute.<\/p>\n
\u201cWhile road conditions are currently improving, they may change quickly due to flooding,\u201d she said. \u201cIf you don\u2019t need to travel in the affected areas, we\u2019re asking people to avoid it wherever possible.\u201d<\/p>\n
