Environment Canada has issued a rainfall warning for parts of Cypress County and the County of 40 Mile, as a system brings as much as 50 to 70 millimeters of rain to the area by Tuesday morning.

The rain is forecast to intensify this morning and persist through tonight.

That much rain has prompted Alberta river forecasters to put a high stream flow advisory on all streams and tributaries flowing out of the Cypress Hills, and for the eastern portions of streams in the Milk River basin.
