Large area around PA now expecting ‘very high’ runoff
The Water Security Agency has just released its April forecast and update on the spring runoff and many areas in and around Prince Albert are seeing red.
This means those places are now at a “very high” risk of runoff and flooding, which is a change from the March forecast.
“It is an area that’s larger than a month ago and that is due to the higher volume of snow we received in March,” said Ken Cheveldayoff, minister responsible for Saskatchewan Water Security Agency (WSA).
In order for this forecast to become a scary reality, Cheveldayoff said we need temperatures to get warm quickly.
