Officials with the Regional District of Kootenay Boundary Emergency Program are closely watching river levels forecast to rise quickly in the region.
Up to 30 millimetres of rain is expected in the region today and Saturday.
“After such a long stretch of sunny weather, we just want residents to be aware that there may be a rapid rise in stream and river levels and muddy water that contains debris lifted from banks and channels,” says spokesman Mark Stephens.
“We ask that residents exercise an abundance of caution around watercourses because riverbanks that may have been stable in the past could now be unstable after damage from 2018 flooding, and may give way.”
Current river levels are below a two-year return level, or average, the RDKB says.
The BC River Forecast Centre indicates the snowpack in the Boundary is almost gone, and that which remains is about one-third the amount at this time last year. The expected rise in river levels will occur due to rain rather than melting snow.
