In a special weather statement online, Environment Canada says between 30 to 60 millimetres of rainfall is expected to pour on to the stretch of Highway 5 from Monday (Dec. 4) night until Tuesday morning.
The weather agency says light snow mixed with rain will begin late Monday morning, then gradually intensify to heavy rain Monday evening and continue through Tuesday morning. The heavy rainfall is expected to increase the risk of flooding and landslides.
It’s due to an atmospheric river setting up over B.C.’s south coast Monday.
