Environment Canada has issued two weather warnings relating to heavy rain or snow for northwestern B-C.

The agency says the Kitimat region is expected to receive up to 70 millimetres of rain which could set off flash floods and leave pooling water on the roads. 

The same system is expected to bring 20 centimetres of snow to the area around Stewart. 

The heavy precipitation is expected to taper off by Friday morning
