The B.C. River Forecast Centre's predictions for the Fraser River at Prince George remained unchanged Friday.

While the river is expected to continue receding over this weekend a chance of a new surge remains in place, depending on rainfall over the weekend.

From a peak of 10.02 metres on Wednesday, the Fraser was down to 9.47 metres - but still above the flood elevation level - as of Friday morning at South Fort George.

Both the city's and the regional district's evacuation alerts and orders remained in place and both Cottonwood and Paddlewheel Parks are still closed.
