Environment Canada has also issued a special weather rainfall alert for the area.
“A low pressure centre over Montana will slow as it enters southern Alberta tonight and remain in the area through Monday and Tuesday,” the agency warned. “Moisture rotating around the low will give the potential of prolonged rainfall that will begin tonight and continue through Tuesday with total rainfall amounts of 30 to 50 mm likely.”

River Forecast Centre is maintaining high streamflow advisories for the Upper Columbia area, which includes the Kicking Horse River, Illecillewaet River and tributaries around Invermere, Radium, Golden and Revelstoke, as well as the West Kootenay region.Sumas Prairie flood mitigation plan to be presented Monday
