CARIBOO, BRITISH COLUMBIA, JUL 9 – Environment Canada forecasts 10-25 mm of rain with strong winds and potential thunderstorms, raising risks of localized flooding and landslides in South Cariboo and North Okanagan.
- On the morning of Wednesday, July 9, Environment Canada released special weather statements alerting residents of heavy rainfall expected in areas within the southern part of Cariboo and northern sections of Okanagan.
- The agency released additional weather notifications covering regions including the South and North Thompson, Shuswap, and West Columbia areas in response to an incoming weather front expected to bring heavy rain that day.
