The BC River Forecast Centre has issued a high streamflow advisory to the Upper Columbia region due to forecasted rain.

The advisory covers Invermere, Radium and Golden, with forecast centre officials predicting the area could see 80-100 millimeters of rain and rivers could rise rapidly.

The heaviest rainfall is expected in the Revelstoke and Golden areas.

No major flooding is expected, but fast flowing bodies of water are a risk to the public.

The forecast centre is urging residents to avoid riverbanks and fast-flowing streams.
