April measurements from Alberta Environment and Parks show the snowpack ranging from 106 per cent above average to near record highs of 187 per cent.

Following a weekend that saw more areas in Alberta put under a high streamflow advisory and a helicopter used to airlift some campers away from where river waters were rising dangerously high, the manager for Alberta's river forecast team spoke out about the situation on Monday.

Days of heavy rain have resulted in rising stream flows in south central Alberta. Between 70-100 millimetres of rain is forecast to fall near the Bow and Red Deer River basins by Saturday.
