On June 2, the BC River Forecast Centre issued a High Streamflow Advisory for the East Kootenay region.

A High Streamflow Advisory means that river levels are rising or expected to rise rapidly, but that no major flooding is expected though minor flooding in low-lying areas is possible.

The City of Fernie has closed a section of trail in James White Park due to water in that area.
