Rain is expected to taper off in the late afternoon with the exception of West Vancouver Island and Howe Sound, where heavy rain will persist through Friday night.

“The moist and very mild southerly flow of air across the B.C. South Coast has resulted in areas of heavy rainfall in a number of areas,” Global BC meteorologist Mark Madryga said.

If visibility is reduced while driving, turn on your lights and maintain a safe following distance, officials say.
