Emergency alert is out.

Stream levels are rising and will approach or may exceed bank full. Flooding of areas adjacent to these streams may occur.

The much above average snowpack combined with the above average temperatures over the past few days have caused the water levels in the creeks in Kneehills County to rise rapidly and overtop the banks in some locations. The snowpack in the Paddle basin is similar to conditions from last spring, and with the warm temperatures over the past few days has caused the water levels in the Paddle basin to rise rapidly. Conditions similar to last spring are expected in the Paddle basin where the Paddle River overtopped the banks in some locations, causing water to flow into the fields adjacent to the river. The River Forecast Centre has been in communication with the counties and there is no immediate concerns regarding homes or public infrastructure.
