The centre that monitors river levels around British Columbia has issued high streamflow advisories for a large area of the province's southern, central and southeastern Interior. Environment Canada is calling for temperatures in the low to mid-20s for most of southern B.C. through Friday, followed by wetter weather in the southeast. The centre says there's particular concern about rivers rising near Cache Creek, Quesnel and Williams Lake in the central Interior, an area that was charred by wildfires last summer, leaving the ground unstable and without vegetation, which could make flooding worse. Okanagan waterways in and around Osoyoos and Oliver, north to Kelowna and Vernon are also included in the advisory, while mid-elevation tributaries in the Cranbrook, Castlegar, Trail and Creston areas of southeastern B.C.
