Environment Canada has issued rainfall warnings for several areas across British Columbia’s south coast, with heavy downpours expected to begin Wednesday and continue into Thursday night. The alerts cover Howe Sound and parts of Metro Vancouver’s North Shore and northeast communities, including Coquitlam and Maple Ridge.

Forecasters say between 40 and 60 millimetres of rain could fall as a slow-moving frontal system passes over the region. The agency warns the conditions could increase the risk of landslides in steep or recently burned areas, as well as in locations where vegetation has been removed.

Officials are also urging drivers to be cautious as pooling water on roads and in low-lying areas could lead to hazardous travel conditions. Local emergency services are advising residents to monitor weather updates and take precautions where flooding or slope instability has been a concern in the past.
