The recent precipitation and ongoing snowmelt have raised some concerns about streamflows.
The B.C. River Forecast Centre issued a High Streamflow Advisory for the Okanagan Wednesday, May 13.
The agency warned the river levels were rising or expected to rise rapidly, and while no major flooding was expected it did say localized flooding could occur in low-lying areas.
The advisory was issued as the RDNO warned people to be cautious around fast moving water and river banks.
