An evacuation alert has been issued in the Pemberton Valley north of Vancouver as river levels continue to rise rapidly, due to high temperatures and the resulting snowmelt.
The B.C. River Forecast Centre has issued a flood watch for the Lillooet River and its tributaries, including Pemberton, Lillooet Lake and Harrison Lake. It says river levels are rising and will approach or may exceed bankfull, and areas near the river may also flood.
