Environment Canada is forecasting another bout of heavy rain for the North Shore and Howe Sound area Wednesday night, tapering off to a few showers Thursday afternoon as the strong frontal system weakens.
Between 50 and 70 millimetres of rain is forecast for the area, with localized flooding in low-lying areas a possibility.
Heavy rain and a lack of snowpack on the North Shore mountains led to a torrent of water rushing down the mountainside Monday night, overflowing several creeks and flooding more than a dozen homes in the Lynn Valley neighbourhood.
Up to 86 millimetres of rain battered the North Shore Monday as a strong frontal system moved through B.C.’s south coast. The storm followed a month of heavier than normal rainfall in Metro Vancouver.
Water rushed into Argyle Secondary School late in the evening Monday, forcing officials to close the high school on Tuesday. The District of North Vancouver said 17 homes were evacuated in Lynn Valley.
Authorities in West Vancouver were also busy Monday night with multiple calls about flooded homes.
