An evacuation alert affecting parts of Okanagan Falls has been rescinded.

However, the RDOS did note that the evacuation alert could be reissued if conditions along the creek change.

Currently, most of B.C. is under a weather alert for hot temperatures this weekend.

Environment Canada is predicting temperatures to reach the low-to-mid 30s, with daytime highs being 10-15 C above seasonal values and overnight lows being 5-10 C above normal.

Those hot temperatures will increase snowpack melting, with localized flooding possible due to high stream-flow levels.
