A flood warning has been issued for the Assiniboine Valley in southwestern Manitoba.
The threatened area includes the Interlake, Lake Winnipeg, Swan River, Bloodvein River and Red Deer Lake, encompassing communities such as Fisher River, Arborg, Hecla, Neepawa, Little Grand Rapids, Poplar River, Gypsumville and Minnedosa.
Environment Canada said an unstable weather system from North Dakota is expected to move northeast and produce "substantial" rainfall of up to 70 millimeters in the next 24 hours in southern and central regions of the province.
Recent storms in the area have saturated the soil and the fear is additional rain could result in significant run-off and flash flooding over the next two days.
