At least two highways were cut to relieve pressure as the Swan Valley and other western Manitoba communities continue to deal with intense flooding from weekend storms.

A severe storm rolled through southern Manitoba, taking down numerous trees, flooding roads and leaving thousands without power.

Yellow-level heat warnings have been issued for Winnipeg, Regina and Saskatoon by Environment Canada, prompting a reminder to stay cool and beat the heat.

Premier Wab Kinew visited Peguis First Nation to assist with flood prevention efforts in the lead up to what may be the final days before the spring flood hits the community.

Spring is, once again, being squashed in the Prairies. A storm is on the forecast for Thursday and Friday, expected to bring wintery weather across Manitoba and Saskatchewan.
