The head of the BC River Forecast Centre says river levels at Mission and Hope are relatively unchanged today from levels yesterday, but says things are not necessarily improving.
Dave Campbell says it’s expected levels will hold steady with the possibility of a bit of a drop in the mid part of the week at Mission and Hope.
“Really caution that we are expecting to see another surge of water as it works its way across the province. Typically it takes us about six days from seeing rain fall in the Interior and the headwaters, the tributaries of the Fraser to make its way down to the Fraser Valley, Lower Mainland.”
Campbell says that pulse is expected to be higher than what we’re seeing now.
He says levels at Mission are expected to get up to about 7 metres around Friday to Sunday.
