VICTORIA — It’s one of the first indications that the threat of high water is subsiding.

The B.C. River Forecast Centre (RFC) has lifted a series of high streamflow advisories, including those in place for the North Thompson River and its tributaries, the Bonaparte River at Cache Creek and the Salmon River near Salmon Arm.

The RFC says levels have been improving thanks to cooler weather and diminshed rainfall over the past week.

With forecasts indicating unsettled weather but no heavy rainfall for the coming week, river conditions are expected to continue improving.

A high streamflow advisory remains in place for the South Thompson River and its tributaries, as well as Shuswap Lake and the Shuswap River. Another advisory remains in place for Nicola Lake.
