Parts of B.C.'s South Coast under rainfall warning
The week is off to a wet start on B.C.’s South Coast, with a rainfall warning in effect for Howe Sound and parts of Metro Vancouver.
Environment Canada issued the warning Monday morning ahead of an estimated 50 to 70 mm downpour.
“Light rain or showers today will intensify this evening over Howe Sound including Squamish and parts of Metro Vancouver near North Shore. Heavy rain will taper off to a few showers Tuesday afternoon,” the federal agency wrote.
