Environment and weather forecasters are monitoring a multi-day weather pattern that could bring repeated rounds of showers and thunderstorms across parts of Saskatchewan, with some areas expected to receive significantly more rainfall than usual. While it’s too early to know exactly where the heaviest rain will fall, the Vonda area could see periods of heavy rain, and residents should be prepared.
Now is a great time to take a few simple steps to protect your home and property:
🏠 Clean leaves and debris from eavestroughs and downspouts.
🌧️ Make sure storm drains and culverts near your property are clear.
🚗 Avoid parking vehicles in low-lying areas that are prone to flooding.
🪵 Secure outdoor furniture, garbage bins, and other loose items before storms arrive.
🏡 Check your sump pump (if you have one) and ensure it is working properly.
⚡ Charge your phones and keep flashlights handy in case of localized power outages.
🚫 Never drive through flooded roadways—just a few inches of moving water can be dangerous and may hide washed-out roads.
Heavy rainfall can develop quickly, especially when thunderstorms repeatedly move over the same area. Stay weather aware over the next several days and keep an eye on updated forecasts.
Vonda Fire & Rescue will continue to monitor conditions and share important weather information if it becomes necessary.
Stay safe,
🚒 Vonda Fire & Rescue
