The warning has been issued for all areas south of Highway 1 and Highway 16. The province says the system arriving Monday night, and lasting through Tuesday, could drop between 25 and 150 mm of rain – higher amounts of rain could create “localized overland flooding.”
The Forecast Centre says the warning will be in place until Wednesday.
Earlier today, Environment Canada’s Chris Stammers said rainfall totals could reach 20 to 30 mm in localized areas due to thunderstorms.
