A quiet start to the flood season in Manitoba could soon be ramped up after the province issued a flood warning for the Assiniboine River between Shellmouth Dam and Brandon.
Snow has melted fast in the area which has resulted in high flows in rivers and tributaries and low-lying areas could be impacted.
The river is expected to be within the banks in the third week of April.
