Rainfall and flood warnings remained in effect for parts of B.C.'s South Coast Sunday, with periods of heavy rain in the forecast through the afternoon.
In Metro Vancouver and the Fraser Valley, Environment and Climate Change Canada predicted an additional 20 to 40 millimetres of rain Sunday.
That's in addition to the more than 150 millimetres that has fallen in some locations during this weekend's storm so far.
Preliminary rainfall totals in the Lower Mainland ranged from 87 millimetres in Hope to as much as 228 millimetres in parts of Coquitlam as of 5 a.m. Sunday, according to ECCC data.
The weather agency showed 106 millimetres of precipitation at Vancouver International Airport, 150 in Vancouver Harbour and 177 in West Vancouver, where the downpour turned 21st Street into a raging river for part of the day Saturday.
The Tri-Cities were also hard hit, with the Coquitlam River overflowing its banks Saturday, prompting a flood warning from the B.C. River Forecast Centre.
Coquitlam Search and Rescue responded to Mount Burke Saturday afternoon to rescue three hikers stranded by overflowing rivers, documenting their highline rescue on social media.
