Fall storm to bring heavy rain along B.C. coast, parts of Vancouver Island
Environment Canada says up to 100 mm of rain could fall in northern sections near Zeballos, with landslides, flooding and outages possible.
- Environment Canada issued a yellow rainfall warning for West Vancouver Island on Tuesday, forecasting very heavy rain from Tuesday evening through Wednesday with approximately 100 mm of precipitation expected.
- A robust frontal system currently over British Columbia's central coast is moving across Vancouver Island, marking the first "fall storm" of the season and bringing conditions from Brooks Peninsula Provincial Park south to Beecher Bay.
- Rainfall totals of 100 mm are expected with potentially higher amounts near Zeballos, particularly threatening areas affected by summer drought where sudden water pooling and landslides pose increased risks.
- Exposed coastal regions face strong southerly wind gusts peaking Tuesday night before easing Wednesday, while Environment Canada urged drivers to avoid flooded roadways and prepare for possible utility outages.
- Special weather statements also cover British Columbia's North and Central coasts, including Prince Rupert, Kitimat, and Bella Bella, while Southern Vancouver Island and Greater Victoria remain excluded from the rainfall warning.
