After snow, the deluge: Up to 100 mm rain on the way for B.C.'s South Coast

A week after a snowstorm walloped Vancouver, it's time to get the galoshes out.

A rainfall warning has been issued for Metro Vancouver, Howe Sound, and both the east and west coast of Vancouver Island.

Moderate rain is supposed to start midday Wednesday and increasein intensity overnight, Environment Canada says.

East Vancouver Island is expected to get 80 to 100 millimetres of rain, while Howe Sound and Metro Vancouver could get up to 80 millimetres.

With the heavy rain comes the risk of flash floods, pooling water on roads and localized flooding in low-lying areas.

The rain is expected to ease off by Thursday midday.
