The heavy rain from atmospheric rivers subsided Friday and Saturday, but more rain was in the forecast.

By early Sunday morning, Environment Canada predicted rainfall of 40 to 60 millimetres (mm) with 80 mm over higher terrain later Sunday into Monday.

"Water will likely pool on roads and in low-lying areas. Some travel delays are possible. Landslides may occur in vulnerable areas such as steep slopes, deforested areas or recent burn scars."
