Much of B.C.’s South Coast was under a Friday morning rainfall warning but as of 11:30 a.m., the rainfall warnings have ended.
The warning spanned over Metro Vancouver, the Fraser Valley, the North Shore, Howe Sound, West and East Vancouver Island, Nanoose Bay to Campbell River, and the Sunshine Coast.
“Rainfall amounts of 10 to 20 mm will fall (Friday) morning for most areas except 30 to 50 mm through Friday night over Howe Sound and West Vancouver Island,” Environment Canada said in the warning.
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.
