A prolonged atmospheric river is affecting British Columbia this week, with Flood Watch, multiple rainfall warnings, and Special Weather Statements in effect across parts of the province. Some coastal areas could receive up to 400 mm (15.7 inches) of rain, while heavy rain on existing snowpack is increasing the risk of flooding, washouts, landslides and dangerous avalanche conditions.
