Parts of east Vancouver Island are still under a rainfall warning as of Thursday.
East Vancouver Island, from Nanoose Bay to Fanny Bay and Courtenay to Campbell River, is under the warning.
Up to 50 millimetres of rain is expected from Bowser to Campbell River by Friday morning with lesser amounts near 30 mm expected near Qualicum Beach.
According to the weather agency, an unseasonably strong Pacific frontal system will spread rain across central Vancouver Island Thursday. The system will tap into subtropical moisture which will amplify the front and help to enhance the rainfall.
West Vancouver Island and inland Vancouver Island are still under a special weather statement as heavy rain is also expected in those areas.
Heavy downpours can cause flash floods and water pooling on roads. Environment Canada said localized flooding in low-lying areas can sometimes occur. Residents should watch for possible washouts near rivers, creeks and culverts.
