Major Rain Event Hits Alberta

Another major rain event is barreling into Alberta and Saskatchewan this weekend, fueled by a Pacific low-pressure system that’s primed to dump 40-70mm of rain—especially along the Yellowhead Highway. With soggy ground from last week and a wet June already, expect pooling water, washouts, and overland flooding. Models show areas west of Calgary could see over 60mm, while Calgary itself faces 35-45mm on Sunday. The system’s setup—with Rockies and high-pressure zones—could trap moisture, prolonging the deluge. Temperatures will drop, winds will rise, and thunderstorms may brew along the foothills. Rain looks set to linger until at least Wednesday, so if you’re in flood-prone zones, stay alert. Support the show:Get a discount at https://solipillow.com/discount/dnn.
