The River Forecast centre ended the High Streamflow Advisory for the areas listed below on June 21, 2026.
On Monday, June 15, 2026, the River Forecast Centre issued a High Streamflow Advisory for:
Skeena River, including the mainstem from Kitwanga downstream through Usk and Terrace
A High Streamflow Advisory means that river levels are rising or expected to rise rapidly, but major flooding is not expected. Minor flooding in low-lying areas is possible.
What's happening:
The Skeena River has been rising in response to increased snowmelt runoff. The Skeena River at Usk (Water Survey of Canada gauge 08EF001) is currently at 3220 m3/s (8.9m gauge height) and rising. Elevated flows are expected to continue into the middle of the week, with the potential to see further rises to 9.5 to 10.0 m at the Skeena River at Usk gauge.
What you can do:
Fast-flowing rivers pose increased risk to safety - stay away from rivers and river banks, which can be unstable. Never drive through floodwaters, as unseen hazards and current can be life-threatening.
We will provide updates as they become available, or you can visit the River Forecast Centre website for the most recent updates.
