Was this from thunderstorms or is this mostly snowmelt?
Snow melt. It's been dry... so far. Whiteman Creek has come down now, but when the rain comes it will go up again. It probably won't rise as high as it was yesterday, which was a new all time record.
The median date for peak flow is May 18th. The earliest peak on record was March 31st, 2015. The latest was June 13th, 1990.

Also, here is an interesting question for you, which river is larger in terms of peak flow, the Liard for Fraser? And which peaks first? The answer to both questions is they are exactly the same. They both peak on June 13th.
The earliest peak for the Fraser was May 1st, 1934. For the Liard the earliest was May 8th (in both 1951 and 1989)
The latest peak for the Fraser was July 23rd, 2001. For the Liard it was September 5th, 2016.
