Summary
Calgary’s bracing for a major rainstorm with Environment Canada warning of 50-100mm of rain by Wednesday—some spots could see even more. Already, 40mm has fallen, with High River and Lethbridge over 50. Another 40+mm is expected Monday-Tuesday as the system moves north. Rivers are rising fast: Bow River is unsafe for boating or swimming, Elbow River is expected to climb higher, and Fish Creek is under a high streamflow advisory. While widespread flooding isn’t forecast, localized flooding and erosion risks remain. Officials urge caution near waterways and advise postponing outdoor plans near rivers. The province is ready to assist, though the threat doesn’t match 2013’s catastrophic floods. Stay alert—floods can sneak up fast.
