High streamflow advisories in effect for North and South Thompson Rivers
KAMLOOPS — Flood concerns continue to be a reality for parts of B.C., including Kamloops.
In its bi-weekly teleconference Tuesday, B.C.’s River Forecast Centre said there are no longer any flood warnings in B.C. though the Shuswap River is under a flood watch and the North and South Thompson Rivers as well as the Salmon River are under high streamflow advisories.
“As we get to the confluence of the North and South Thompson Rivers through Kamloops, we do see the potential there with the rising tributary flows on both sides through this week,” said B.C. River Forecast Centre head Dave Campbell. “The river level is on the order of a half a metre rise as we come into the weekend.”
