Weatherhood Local

Conservation groups have to wait and see if water rushing into local creeks effected spawning salmon.

Heavy rain is expected today through Saturday with an expected 50mm, which could bring flash floods and pooling water on the roads.

With a mix of sun and clouds, Saturday is expected to be the nicest day of the weekend.

The next 24 hours is set to see 22 mm of rain fall in Sechelt which would be almost half the total precipitation that fell during last month.

Weatherhood shows Gibsons as the windiest local location being reported on, as of 7:30am on Thursday.

A little rain never hurt anybody and, in fact, helps maintain water levels on the Sunshine Coast.

Temperatures reaching as high as 28-C are expected today, with the sun expected to stick around through Wednesday.

Rain is expected to continue, off and on throughout the weekend and up to Tuesday of next week.

Higher temperatures means bears are on the hunt for food, which makes it more important than ever to be 'bear aware.'
