North Thompson River expected to peak next week; South Thompson levels remain steady
KAMLOOPS — The City of Kamloops says the North and South Thompson River levels are looking promising this week. And if the snowmelt and weather conditions hold off from any extreme activity, the flood danger could diminish considerably.
In an update Thursday morning (June 16), Utility Services Manager Greg Wightman says the North Thompson level has been dropping since Monday. And the South Thompson River has been steady, with no major drops or increases.
The City’s gauge at the confluence of both rivers near the Overlanders Bridge has also stayed within 10 cm of the same level over the past week.
