Additional moisture for seeding started falling Monday with the heaviest amounts in the southwest corner of Saskatchewan where Cypress Hills can expect 50 plus millimetres, 20 to 40 millimetres in the Kindersley area and around 20 millimetres expected in the Saskatoon region.

A trough of low pressure stalled over southern Alberta and parts of Saskatchewan and Scott Kayler with Weatherlogics in Winnipeg says 50 to 75 millimetres was expected for Medicine Hat up to Oyen in Alberta.

Much of southern Alberta is under a rainfall warning this morning from Red Deer south through Calgary all the way to the U.S. border. Those rainfall warnings also persist in southwest Saskatchewan this morning for Shaunavon, Maple Creek, Val Marie, Cypress Hills.  As of Wednesday, its nothing but sunshine in the forecast.

Meantime, if you’ve ever been in Regina during a heavy downpour there’s a good chance you were made aware of a particular flood prone area.

The City of Regina is partnering with SGI to introduce the Albert Street Underpass Flood Detection Sensor System. It is going to be put in place at the Albert Street and Saskatchewan Drive underpass to inform oncoming traffic when flooding occurs in hopes fewer vehicles will get stuck in flood water.

The new system is now live. The Albert Street Underpass Flood Sensor System total cost is $185,000 through a joint investment of $60,000 from SGI and $125,000 from the City of Regina.
