Environment Canada reported Okanagan Lake reached 343.08 metres at 7 a.m. on Monday.
That’s a 1.7 centimetre increase since Sunday morning.
Mission Creek is forecast to rise in the next few days as snow at higher elevations melts and enters the creek.
Residents living along Mission Creek, especially those closer to the lake, are urged to reinforce the flood protection around their properties.
Flood protection was bolstered along Mission Creek between the bridge and Lakeshore Road and Okanagan Lake, at Green Bay in West Kelowna and along Antler Beach in Peachland to protect Highway 97.
Log booms are being installed around the eastern end of the William R. Bennett Bridge cosest to City Park.
The log booms will be in place to reduce the threat of erosion around the bridge.
Environment Canada’s forecast for the next few days include a change from hot, sunny conditions to rain and wind by Tuesday evening and into Wednesday.
People are also asked not to climb on bladder dams, gabion cages, and sandbag walls deployed along beaches and creeks.
Boating is still discouraged, and people are being warned to stay back from creekbanks.
