Drenching rainfall is being predicted for a broad sweep of British Columbia's fire-ravaged Interior, bringing up to 80 millimetres of rain and possible relief for fire crews battling blazes that have forcing thousands from their homes.

But the forecast is also associated with warnings of potential localized flooding and"debris flows" as rains hit the fire-scorched landscape.

The wet weather is forecast to be accompanied by possible lightning and wind gusts northward up to 50 kilometres per hour. Rain is also expected today in Kelowna, with a 60 per cent chance of showers aiding firefighters combating the McDougall Creek fire near the city, while the province has lifted travel restrictions to most communities in the southern Interior other than West Kelowna.
