KAMLOOPS (NEWS1130) – Warmer temperatures have increased the danger of flooding in the Interior.
The provincial river forecasting centre has issued flood warnings for the Nicola River, near Merritt, and the Bonaparte River at Cache Creek.
Cache Creek Mayor John Ranta says the last time there was serious flooding in the area was 1991, and since then dikes were installed.
Warnings have also been posted for the West Kettle River, near Westbridge, and further north in the Quesnel area, along the Willow and Cottonwood Rivers.
