British Columbia braces for a major storm, an atmospheric river event, starting Sunday. Heavy rain mixed with snowmelt could cause rapid river level rises, leading to flooding, washouts, and landslides. High streamflow advisories are in place across the coast, from Vancouver Island to the Fraser Valley. The storm is expected to last until at least Wednesday, with the heaviest rain falling Monday and Tuesday. Warmer air will push freezing levels up, doubling water flow into rivers. People are urged to avoid banks and low-lying areas. Hydrologists describe the system as a narrow band of moisture, like a fire hose from a tropical storm. Advisories are the first level in the flood warning system and could upgrade soon. Safety first—stay clear of waterways and heed local alerts through the week.
