Province issues high streamflow advisory for Southern Interior including Nicola River, Salmon River

VICTORIA — The high snowpack in the Southern Interior alpine is starting to make its way down.

The B.C. River Forecast Centre has now issued a high streamflow advisory for much of the region, including the Nicola River and its tributaries, as well as the Salmon River near Salmon Arm.

The Deadman River, Bonaparte River and Cache Creek were put on advisory status later in the day Thursday (June 2).

In its advisory, the BCRFC says “steady warming is leading to increasing snowmelt rates and river runoff.”
