The Bow River in Calgary increased 30 cms over the past 24 hours.

A High Streamflow Advisory remains in effect for the Bow River upstream of and including the Town of Canmore

The tributaries increased marginally.

Bow River at Calgary: 282 cms
Elbow River below Glenmore dam: 41 cms
Fish Creek: 4 cms
Highwood River near the mouth: 74 cms

Total Bow River flow below Highwood: 401 cms

Gradual Warming. Becoming Sunnier. Sometime.

As the sky clears out Tuesday night, we can look forward to somewhat drier and sunnier conditions Wednesday. Nonetheless, there is still a good chance of showers in the afternoon for one more day. Thursday and Friday will be drier, and temperatures will rise to the 20s. If someone asked "How's the weekend looking?", I'd have to answer honestly - I don't know. Current forecast models are indicating rain or showers both Saturday and Sunday. However, if the upper ridge and omega block that lead to our sunshine Thursday and Friday remain strong, the warm sunny weather could very well continue into the weekend.
