Environment Canada expects that water will likely pool on roads and in low-lying areas.

Landslides may occur in vulnerable areas such as steep slopes, deforested areas or recent burn scars.

A wind warning is also in effect for the Fraser Canyon thanks to another strong low-pressure system approaching the B.C. coast, bringing a prolonged period of southeasterly winds with gusts ranging from 60 to 80 km/h across the B.C. Interior this weekend.

Environment Canada says these winds will strengthen this evening and are expected to peak by Sunday morning. Winds will then ease slightly before an incoming cold front brings a strong push of southwesterly winds, with gusts potentially reaching 90 km/h starting early Sunday afternoon for western regions. These gusty winds are expected to ease by Sunday evening.
