Snow is expected to be heavier — up to 40 centimetres — along the southern Foothills and in the Lethbridge and Cardston areas.
The rain in Lethbridge has crews busy dealing with blocked catch basins, localized flooding and problems with the storm sewer system. The city is asking residents to ensure downspouts are running away from their homes and sump pumps are working.
The Alberta Motor Association is warning drivers in central and southern Alberta to stay home if possible on Thursday night because of the slick roads and low visibility expected.
