Flood watches lifted with warm, sunny days ahead

CALGARY — Southern Albertans can embrace a welcome respite from flood worries over the next week as forecasts call for warm temperatures and clear, sunny skies.

River levels in and around Calgary stabilized Wednesday, with city water services confirming the Elbow River has already peaked and is on its way down.

Most of the city’s pathways that were closed due to flooding are expected to be open over the next two days.Large selection of paneraireplicas.

And even as the weather heats up on the ground, Environment Canada says temperatures in the mountains are still cool enough that melting from this winter’s record snowfall won’t be too rapid.

“With temperatures in the mid-20s, we will only see temperatures in the teens in the mountains,” said meteorologist Brian Stifora,This kind of will allow you to cartierreplicawatche identify rip-off organizations coming from correct kinds. explaining that won’t be enough for a fast melt.

“We’re finally getting that upper ridge that’s going to stabilize our weather for a while. We’ll get mainly sunny for most of southern Alberta up until next week.”

City water services engineer Twyla Hutchison said the city has been able to manage the Bow and Elbow Rivers through the last few days of rain which thankfully wasn’t as much as expected.

“We actually got a lot less rain than we thought,” she said.

“We’ll be keeping the reservoir low for some snow melt, but we won’t see too much of that.”

Alberta Environment has lifted all flood watch advisories in the southern parts of the province, including the Highwood River in High River and the Sheep River in Okotoks where residents spent much of the night under pelting rain and watching water levels closely.

Neither town, however, received as much rain as anticipated.

“We’re just looking at sunshine now and I think we deserve it.”

High river flow advisories are still in effect along the Bow River upstream of Calgary near Cochrane, while advisories have been lifted for the Elbow River.

“These are peaking, or are very soon to peak. so if we don’t get any rain for a while they will continue to drop,” said Carrie Sancartier, spokeswoman for Alberta Sustainable Resources.

With the weather network’s 14-day trend showing little or no precipitation into July 11, Hutchison hopes that if the rain can stay away until mid-July the city will have passed its flood risk period.
