The River Forecast Centre has issued a High Streamflow Advisory for Sea to Sky, Howe Sound, and Lillooet area.
The advisory means that river levels are rising or are expected to rise rapidly, although no major flooding is expected.
The advisory follows a special weather statement about heavy rain and winds, with rainfall amounts of 40-65 mm by Thursday morning.
This fall storm will mark a significant shift in streamflow runoff conditions.
Rivers are expected to rise rapidly in response to rainfall on Wednesday, with peak flows from the first storm expected late Wednesday or Thursday.
Larger rivers are expected to reach peak levels later on Thursday or into Friday, and localized issues and minor flooding can be expected in some areas.
The centre is asking people to be cautious and to stay clear of rivers during this event due to quickly flowing water and potentially unstable riverbanks.
A series of storms is expected to impact the BC coast over the next several days, and another storm cycles will continue into the weekend.
The first system begins today and will continue into Thursday, with following systems passing again later Friday and into the weekend.
