British Columbia officials are expected to provide an update Sunday on evacuation efforts as the province deals with renewed rainfall and storms.

At a briefing on Saturday, Abbotsford Mayor Henry Braun said officials in Whatcom County in Washington state had told him they expected the Nooksack River to begin overtopping its banks on Sunday, adding the region could see up to 120 mm of rain by then.

Those flood waters are expected to flow north towards the Huntingdon Village area and into the Sumas Prairie, Braun said. Huntingdon Village remains under an evacuation alert and the mayor urged residents to be ready to leave at a moment’s notice. The prairie itself remained under an evacuation order.
