Lake Country and North Westside Road residents are urged to be careful near any area creeks and streams.
Possible heavy rain and seasonal temperatures combined with the higher elevation snow melt will likely result in faster flowing water and the potential for rapid water level increases.
“People, children and pets should stay safely back from creek banks, which may be slippery or subject to erosion by the higher, swifter moving water,” said Bruce Smith, communications co-ordinator with the Central Okanagan Regional District.
“As well, boaters on Okanagan Lake should keep a look out for floating debris entering the lake from all water courses.”
At the present time, there are no flood advisories or warnings or high streamflow advisories in the Central Okanagan.
“Should conditions change notices will be issued through local media,” said Smith.
If you notice flooding, contact the Provincial Emergency Program at 1-800-663-3456.
