Heavy rain prompts warnings in central Alberta

Thursday, September 25, 2014, 9:07 AM - While the day started out dry throughout most of Alberta, it certainly won't end that way.

A low pressure system developing in the northwestern United States will move into Alberta Thursday night. 

Heavy rainfall associated with this system will start in the Grande Cache and Whitecourt areas Thursday evening and spread into the Grande Prairie and Slave Lake regions overnight.

"Total rainfall amounts by Friday evening are expected to be from 50 to 60 mm although locally higher amounts may fall over upper elevations of the Grande Cache area," says Environment Canada in a rainfall warning. 

"The rain will move into northern Saskatchewan by late Friday."

At this time, EC says there is still some uncertainty about the exact path of the storm system -- and thus additional warnings may be issued throughout the day as more information become available. 

Meanwhile, the rest of the Prairies are looking at another warm and dry day.
