Heavy showers with embedded thunderstorms continue.
What: Total rainfall amounts near 20 to 40 mm.
When: Now through this afternoon.
Where: Southern BC Interior.
Additional information:
An upper disturbance over southern British Columbia is bringing moderate to heavy showers with embedded thunderstorms to the region.
Because of the convective nature of the system, showers will be widespread, and areas where thunderstorms develop will further enhance precipitation rates. Light to moderate rainfall will persist today with locally higher rainfall in thunderstorms this afternoon. Total rainfall amounts will be highly variable across the southern interior region, with 20 up to 40 mm possible.
Sudden heavy downpours and heavy rainfall rates may cause localized flooding/water pooling on roads, and landslides or debris flows from vulnerable landscapes (e.g. burn scars).
If visibility is reduced while driving, turn on your lights and maintain a safe following distance.
