Storm to bring heavy rain and high sea levels to the mid-Island region

Storm surge to create elevated river levels, seasonably high tides and large waves

A storm is anticipated to bring heavy rainfall, strong winds and above seasonal temperatures to the Northern Vancouver Island Service Area over the next 24-48 hours.

Rainfall combined with melting mountain snow and elevated freezing levels will increase the risk for flooding, water pooling and landslides, according to a weather advisory from Mainroad, the contractor maintaining North Island highways. Be prepared for falling debris and potential power outages due to strong winds and saturated soil.
