Let's look back and THEN go forward.

Heavy, steady rain created some localized "flooding" in Edmonton yesterday.
"Storm pooling" might be a more accurate term, but you can choose to call it what you want.
(after the Flooding in Southern Alberta last week, it seems odd to refer to yesterday's issue with the same term).
We had 30-45mm of rain in the city.  That shouldn't be enough to cause problems.
However, as we've been talking about the past few days, Edmonton had rain in 20 of the past 24 days prior to yesterday.
So, drainage systems struggled to keep up with yesterday's deluge.
If you remember back to 2011, we had similar "storm pooling" due to a day's worth of heavy rain.
Just like 2013, there was rain on 22 of 30 days in June that year.

Looking Ahead:
The system that hit the Capital Region with rain yesterday has pushed north & will stall.
That trough has already dumped 15-30mm of rain north of Grande Prairie and radar indicates 30-50mm has falled on areas between Whitecourt & Slave Lake in the past 24 hours.
Rainfall WARNINGs remain in effect for the Peace River & Slave Lake regions.  Most of that region can expecte 20-40mm in the next 24 hours.
That will push some spots to over 100mm of rain in a little less than 48hours.

Still unsettled in the Capital Region today.  
No organized, steady rainfall. But, there's a risk of a pop-up shower or thunderstorm this afternoon.
After today...things settle down.  Partly cloudy to mainly sunny skies Thursday/Friday.
Slight risk of a scattered shower late Saturday.
But back to mainly sunny to partly cloudy for Sunday and Canada Day Monday.

The Omega Block still looks like it's going to set up & help pump in some hot air from the south.
Temperatures will climb to around 30 in Edmonton Sunday/Monday.
