“A series of storms will continue to bring periods of heavy rain and very warm temperatures to the BC coast. Periods of heavy rain are occurring in Howe Sound and the Sea to Sky between Squamish and Whistler. The heavy rain will ease to a few light showers on Tuesday morning,” says the weather agency.



The weather agency warns that mountain snowmelt “will lead to enhanced response in river systems and the potential for flooding”.

Drivers along the highway are being warned about flash floods and water pooling on roads.



“Watch for possible washouts near rivers, creeks and culverts,” adds Environment Canada.
