The Water Security Agency (WSA) is advising the public of a significant weather system likely to bring heavy rain and increased river flow to Saskatchewan.
Heavier rain is forecasted for areas around North Battleford, Kindersley, Biggar, Outlook, Saskatoon, Rosthern, Humboldt, Foam Lake, Regina Beach, Buffalo Pound Lake, Davidson, as well as the north end of Lake Diefenbaker, including Riverhurst and Elbow.
As a result, the Water Security Agency (WSA) is advising the public of the potential for increased water flow. It said the rainfall is expected to impact the headwaters of the North and South Saskatchewan rivers in Alberta.
This large amount of moisture is expected to fall in a short amount of time, resulting in increased runoff and flows in rivers, streams and lakes across Saskatchewan, which can cause localized out-of-channel flows and localized flooding. WSA will be monitoring the situation closely throughout the weekend.
