High snowpack a danger PROVINCIAL officials say they’re watching the Skee- na basin snowpack closely because it’s higher than most other areas in the province. The Skeena-Nass index is sitting at 56 per cent above normal, says Bill Wyngaards of Victoria's River Forecast Centre. Though the snowpack is above the 30 year average for mid-May, Wyngaards caytioned a high snowpack does not in itself mean flood potential is high. Actual flood levels reached are very depen- dent on short term weather during the melt. Heavy rainfall or three to four days of extremely high temperatures — such as 30 degree Celsius days — could translate into the river rising at a high rate which could lead. to fload- the time that you are vul- nerable to those three or four days of hot weather or heavy rains,” says another River Forecast Centre offi- cial, Dave Gooding. But if Terrace exper-~ iences average weather throughout the melting Stages there may well be nothing to worry about. “In the case of the Skeena it’s the rain more than the hot weather that really blindsides you,” said Wyngaards. However, the Provincial Emergency Program (P.E.P) issued a warning May 16 advising people in the vicinity of the Skeena ee et ee ie ing. a heavy. snowpack does is extend: and Bulkley rivers to pre- pare for flooding should the river rise quickly.
