Environment Canada has issued an alert for the North Coast as remnants of Hurricane Oho are expected to hit coastal sections, taking a dead aim for Prince Rupert and Haida Gwaii, over the long weekend.
What has been coined as an “atmospheric river”, meteorologists with Environment Canada are warning Prince Rupert can expect 200mm of rainfall (nearly eight inches) beginning today (Thursday, Oct. 8) and continuing until Sunday.
“A series of storms will take aim at the North and Central Coasts from today through Sunday night. A front will move across the region today with wet and windy conditions expected. From tonight into Friday stronger southeasterly winds and heavier rain are forecast as an intense storm develops from the remnants of hurricane Oho, as it races northward towards Haida Gwaii. Rain and wind warnings are now in effect for this storm. The storm will move north of the region by Friday evening.
In the wake of this storm a strong westerly flow will bring another disturbance to the Central Coast Saturday morning with yet another storm impacting the North Coast on Sunday. Computer models are estimating rainfall accumulations in the 100 to 200 mm range for the above mentioned areas from Friday through Sunday night,” Environment Canada said in a statement posted on their website at 4:58 p.m. on Thursday.
