People around Coquitlam, Maple Ridge, Surrey and Langley can also expect a down- pour, and the same goes for those in the Fraser Valley. Rain may bring localized flooding to lowlying areas, and you are being reminded and encouraged to clear catch basins. As a third system moved into the region early this morning.
