The Water Security Agency (WSA) has issued a high flow advisory for a large area of the province that extends from northwestern Saskatchewan near Buffalo Narrows down to the southeastern areas near Yorkton.
Lloydminster, Meadow Lake, Buffalo Narrows, La Ronge, Prince Albert, the Battlefords, Watrous, Melfort, Nipawin, Tisdale, Hudson Bay and Yorkton are all included in the alert.

The WSA said in the April 28 advisory that cooler conditions over the past several days had temporarily slowed snow melt but increasing temperatures over the coming days with overnight lows remaining above freezing could result in rapid snow melt in areas where snowpack remains or where runoff has not yet begun.
The advisory says rivers could reach higher levels than currently forecast, increasing the risk of localized overland flooding and the potential for ice jamming.
WSA also warned that areas that have already experienced peak water levels and are currently receding, may see a second peak.
This advisory was extended farther because of substantial snow accumulations from a recent storm, WSA said, which may contribute to enhanced runoff as temperatures warm.
