YELLOW WARNING

Update: Rainfall alert issued for Maple Creek, Cypress Hills area

Sep 8, 2026 | 8:13 AM

A Yellow Warning for rainfall is in effect for the Maple Creek and Cypress Hills area in Southwest Saskatchewan and Southern Alberta as rain continues across parts of the region this morning.

Environment Canada says the rain will continue through Tuesday morning before tapering off through the day.

The alert covers the RM of Maple Creek, including Cypress Hills Interprovincial Park.

The weather agency warns that water will likely pool on roads and in low-lying areas, while visibility could be suddenly reduced at times as heavier rain moves through.

The alert has a moderate impact level, with high confidence in the forecast.

Drivers are being urged not to drive through flooded roadways, avoid low-lying areas and allow extra time for travel.

The rainfall comes as a larger system continues to bring wet weather across southern Alberta and Saskatchewan, with parts of southern Alberta having already received significant rainfall.

Environment Canada is advising people in the affected areas to continue monitoring weather alerts and forecasts as conditions change throughout the day.
