May 1, 2020 | 9:10 AM

KAMLOOPS — As the flood danger eases throughout the Cariboo and Chilcotin, it is starting to crop up further south.

As of Friday morning (May 1), the B.C. River Forecast Centre has issued a high streamflow advisory for the Upper Nicola River above Nicola Lake.

At the same time, the centre has maintained a flood watch for Cache Creek, the Bonaparte River and surrounding areas, and has kept a high streamflow advisory in place for the Salmon River near Salmon Arm.

The centre says snowmelt rates have increased in the past day or two, and mid-elevation snow is expected to melt over the next one-to-two weeks.

For the weekend, the centre says river level rises are possible with marginally warming temperatures and the possibility of rain showers in the forecast.
