VICTORIA — Environment Canada is warning that another rain storm is headed for British Columbia’s North Coast.

The national forecaster says a second atmospheric river will bring heavy rains to the province for a second weekend in a row.

More than 100 millimeters of rain are expected for Haida Gwaii, with the storm then expected to move south to already hard-hit regions on Monday and Tuesday.

Environment Canada says flooding and landslides could occur in northern B.C. as a result of the heavy rain.

Public Safety Minister Mike Farnworth says the government is keeping a close eye on areas that are dealing with flooding.
