A High Streamflow Advisory has been issued for the West Kootenay region.
The BC River Forecast Centre says the advisory follows seasonally warm temperatures and elevated snowmelt brought by a high-pressure system that affected most of the province last week.
As a result, rivers across the region have risen sharply in recent days due to warmer temperatures and increased snowmelt runoff.
Areas of particular concern include tributaries of the Fraser River upstream of Prince George, the North Thompson, Upper Columbia, and West Kootenay.
The High Streamflow Advisory means river levels are expected to rise rapidly, although no major flooding is anticipated.
However, minor flooding in low-lying areas is possible.
