The District of North Vancouver is getting ready for another bout of rain after an atmospheric river weather system drenched B.C.B次元官网网址檚 south coast last weekend, triggering a mudslide and localized flooding that killed at least three people.

The North Shore mountains could see another 75 millimetres of rain this weekend, and Lisa Muri, a councillor with the district, says staff are preparing by cleaning up culverts and placing sandbags throughout the community.

Muri says last weekendB次元官网网址檚 storm was unprecedented, bringing nearly 350 millimetres of rain over three days.

She says the downpours caused creeks to swell and pick up wood debris and gravel that blocked culverts and drainage channels, sending torrents of brown water down streets in the waterfront neighbourhood of Deep Cove.

Ken Dosanjh, a meteorologist with Environment and Climate Change Canada, says the rain in the forecast will be B次元官网网址渘othingB次元官网网址� compared with last weekendB次元官网网址檚 storm, and it will come in a series of B次元官网网址減ulsesB次元官网网址� rather than forming an atmospheric river.

He says North Vancouver could see up to 75 millimetres of rain in the coming days, but it will fall over multiple days at a lower intensity than the last storm.

B次元官网网址淲ith the atmospheric river, we saw precipitation rates on the order of 10, even upwards of 20 millimetres an hour, which is extremely high,B次元官网网址� he said Thursday.

B次元官网网址淚n this case, weB次元官网网址檙e noticing precipitation rates kind of fall around four to eight millimetres per hour, maybe reaching 10 (in) extreme cases.B次元官网网址�
