A strong Pacific storm is expected to bring heavy rain to much of western Vancouver Island.
Environment Canada says up to 100 millimetres of rain could fall between Friday afternoon and Saturday morning.
It warns that heavy downpours may cause flash flooding and water pooling on roads — localized flooding in low-lying areas is also possible.
Residents in communities along the island’s west coast, including Tahsis and Zeballos, are being advised to watch for possible washouts near rivers, creeks and culverts.
