Environment Canada ended the Rainfall Warning for Metro Vancouver, Howe Sound, and the Fraser Valley, including Abbotsford and Chilliwack at 5 a.m. on Friday.
However, it remains up for the easternmost part of the Valley, including Hope.
After a drier than normal October, Metro Vancouver kicked off November with a rainfall warning from Environment Canada.
The warning was in place for Metro Vancouver, the Fraser Valley and Howe Sound.
A “subtropical plume of moisture” could lead to as much as 50 to 80 millimetres of precipitation over the next 24 hours, Environment Canada said on Thursday.

The heavy downpour could cause flash flooding and water to pool on roads.
The heavy rain is expected to last overnight before easing off Friday morning.
This comes after a deluge of water flooded many roads across Metro Vancouver on Sunday and Monday.

Taryn Scollard, director of streets for the City of Vancouver, says crews are trying to be proactive to prevent flooding.
“Right now we have crews out the last couple days, as well as today, doing some clearing on the catch basins on the arterials as well as the known flooding areas,” Scollard said.
The city is also asking people to avoid sweeping leaves into the basins and report problem areas by calling 311.
