Summary
Calgary braces for heavy rain and wind, but city officials say thanks to $1.3 billion in flood resilience upgrades, major disasters like 2013 are unlikely. Expect 40-70mm of rain through Tuesday, with strong winds up to 80km/h, while cooler temps slow snowmelt. Reservoirs like Glenmore and Ghost are holding back floodwaters, keeping river flows under 25% of 2013 levels. While river levels are rising and some paths are closed, evacuations aren’t expected. The Bow River is flowing higher than normal, peaking over 400 cubic meters per second — hence the ongoing boating advisory. Power lines and trees remain hazards. Stay safe: protect basements, watch storm drains, and report standing water that doesn’t drain in 90 minutes via the 311 app. Support the show: Get a discount at https://solipillow.com/discount/dnn.
