VANCOUVER – Environment Canada has issued a rainfall warning for North Vancouver, the North Shore mountains and the Howe Sound area.
Heavy rain is expected to fall on those regions due to a strong frontal system moving across the region.
The total rainfall amount of 50 to 70 mm is forecast for both areas with the heavy rain tapering off to a few showers Thursday afternoon.
Environment Canada says localized flooding in low-lying areas is possible.
