SPECIAL WEATHER STATEMENT
10:17 a.m. PDT Friday 5 May 2023
Heavy rain possibly contributing to the escalating flooding situation and mudslides.
When: Today through Saturday night.
Where: Central Okanagan - including Kelowna, South Okanagan - including Penticton, Boundary, Arrow Lakes - Slocan Lake, West Kootenay, Kootenay Lake and Highway 3 - Paulson Summit to Kootenay Pass.
Hazards: New flooding, exacerbation of existing flooding, and mudslides are possible from heavy rainfall on melting mid-high elevation snowpack.
Remarks: Showers at times heavy will develop today as the first of multiple systems arrives. By this afternoon, showers will intensify with embedded thunderstorms further increasing precipitation amounts.
Confidence remains low on spatial extent and intensity as the high precipitation amounts will depend on the embedded thunderstorms. Nevertheless, the threat for sudden heavy downpours and flash flooding on top of the volatile spring snowmelt conditions remains.
Rainfall warnings may be issued as certainty grows. Please refer to the British Columbia River Forecast Centre for local messaging on flood potential.
