Heavy rains are expected to fall Tuesday morning before the system shifts to the east, however "unstable conditions in its wake will maintain showers over the south coast through tonight," notes the weather agency.
Localized flooding in low-lying areas is possible, cautions Environment Canada. Watch for possible washouts near rivers, creeks, and culverts.
So far we've seen varying amounts of rainfall across B.C.'s southern coast, ranging from 30 mm away from the mountains to over 120 mm near the mountains.
With today's rains, we can expect to have seen 15 to 40 mm by Wednesday morning.

Though we are getting a hefty soaking, temperatures remain on the mild side. Tuesday's forecast for Â鶹´«Ã½Ó³»is for a high of 12C, with temps of 9C for Wednesday and Thursday. Things will cool down further by the weekend, with temps in the 5-7C range in Vancouver, but we could also see some sunny, or partly-sunny skies by then.
