The Town continues to monitor a significant rainfall event impacting the region through this weekend and into early next week.

The Alberta River Forecast Centre (RFC) provided its latest river conditions update this morning. 𝗗𝗶𝗮𝗺𝗼𝗻𝗱 𝗩𝗮𝗹𝗹𝗲𝘆 𝗮𝗿𝗲𝗮 𝗶𝘀 𝗻𝗼𝘄 𝘂𝗻𝗱𝗲𝗿 𝗮 𝗛𝗶𝗴𝗵 𝗦𝘁𝗿𝗲𝗮𝗺𝗳𝗹𝗼𝘄 𝗔𝗱𝘃𝗶𝘀𝗼𝗿𝘆. No impacts or flood risk are forecasted at this time.

The local Black Diamond river monitoring station sustained damage on Friday evening, likely due to debris impacts within the river flow. The equipment is still not functional, and it is unknown when the repairs will be completed. We have been in contact with the RFC and they are unable to provide an eta. In the interim, river conditions continue to be monitored through on-the-ground observations.

River flows remain at the higher end of normal, and stream flows may increase as the rain continues. 𝗥𝗲𝘀𝗶𝗱𝗲𝗻𝘁𝘀 𝗮𝗿𝗲 𝗲𝗻𝗰𝗼𝘂𝗿𝗮𝗴𝗲𝗱 𝘁𝗼 𝘀𝘁𝗮𝘆 𝗮𝘄𝗮𝘆 𝗳𝗿𝗼𝗺 𝗿𝗶𝘃𝗲𝗿 𝗯𝗮𝗻𝗸𝘀 𝗮𝗻𝗱 𝘄𝗮𝘁𝗲𝗿𝘄𝗮𝘆𝘀, 𝗮𝘀 𝗲𝗿𝗼𝘀𝗶𝗼𝗻 𝗮𝗻𝗱 𝗳𝗮𝘀𝘁-𝗺𝗼𝘃𝗶𝗻𝗴 𝘄𝗮𝘁𝗲𝗿 𝗰𝗮𝗻 𝗰𝗿𝗲𝗮𝘁𝗲 𝗵𝗮𝘇𝗮𝗿𝗱𝗼𝘂𝘀 𝗰𝗼𝗻𝗱𝗶𝘁𝗶𝗼𝗻𝘀.

Current forecasts continue to indicate significant rainfall continuing through the weekend and into early next week. Total precipitation amounts remain uncertain; however, localized accumulations approaching 50-100 mm remain possible in some areas, with an estimated 15mm already having failed in Diamond Valley.

DVEMA will continue to monitor conditions closely and provide updates should the situation change.

The countdown is on!

While today may feel like summer, our attention is already turning to a significant precipitation event expected to impact Southern Alberta this weekend.

Now is a good time to check sump pumps, clear storm drains around your property, and stay informed as the forecast develops.

𝗗𝗶𝗮𝗺𝗼𝗻𝗱 𝗩𝗮𝗹𝗹𝗲𝘆 𝗘𝗺𝗲𝗿𝗴𝗲𝗻𝗰𝘆 𝗠𝗮𝗻𝗮𝗴𝗲𝗺𝗲𝗻𝘁 - 𝙀𝙢𝙚𝙧𝙜𝙚𝙣𝙘𝙮 𝘾𝙤𝙤𝙧𝙙𝙞𝙣𝙖𝙩𝙞𝙤𝙣 𝘾𝙚𝙣𝙩𝙚𝙧 (𝙀𝘾𝘾) 𝙈𝙤𝙣𝙞𝙩𝙤𝙧𝙞𝙣𝙜 𝙐𝙥𝙙𝙖𝙩𝙚 - May 29, 2026 at 1230hrs:

Diamond Valley Emergency Management Agency (DVEMA) has received a notification from the GOA River Forecast Center advising that current meteorological models indicate a forecasted widespread precipitation accumulation of 50–75 mm across portions of Southern Alberta over the next 4 days, with localized totals approaching 90 mm. Higher elevations may also receive 5–15 cm of snowfall. Forecast confidence regarding total precipitation amounts and spatial distribution is expected to improve over the next 24 to 48 hours. The DVEMA is actively monitoring the situation in collaboration with the Alberta River Forecast Center and provincial partners.

At this stage, there is no indication of any immediate risk to our community. Weather models continue to evolve, and updated assessments are expected throughout the weekend, with clearer information anticipated by Saturday on how this weather event may impact our region.

We still recommend avoiding river activities at this time. Please keep children and pets close and away from the water’s edge.

As always, we encourage residents to stay connected to official updates and practice general preparedness by reviewing household emergency plans and ensuring access to basic supplies. We remain committed to keeping you informed and ready, should conditions change.
