KAMLOOPS — As one high streamflow advisory ends, another begins.
On Tuesday (June 7) morning, the B.C. River Forecast Centre (BCRFC) issued a high streamflow advisory for the North Thompson River – including tributaries around Barriere and Clearwater – and the Cariboo Mountains and tributaries flowing westward, including Quesnel River and Horsefly River and surrounding tributaries.
A high streamflow advisory means that river levels are rising, or expected to rise rapidly, but no major flooding is expected. However, minor flooding in low-lying areas is possible.
BCRFC states rainfall and snowmelt across the region has led to ongoing rises in rivers draining from the Cariboo Mountains. Significant snowpack remains in the mountains, with snow monitoring locations at Yanks Peak at record snowpack for this time of year.
