Weather conditions are easing on Vancouver Island and the Sunshine Coast, prompting a reduction in flood advisories.
The B.C. River Forecast Centre has downgraded the flood watch for Vancouver Island to a high streamflow advisory and removed all advisories for the Sunshine Coast.
The downgrade comes two days after the areas were put on a flood watch due to a series of atmospheric rivers which began on Sunday.
A high streamflow advisory indicates that no major flooding is expected, but minor flooding could occur in low-lying areas because of higher-than-normal river levels.
A flood watch means river levels are rising and will approach or may exceed bankfull, and flooding of areas adjacent to the affected rivers may occur.
