The province says a high stream flow advisory for the Bow River upstream of Cochrane issued on Wednesday remains in effect as officials monitor the dual impact of mountain snowmelt and the recent rainfall.

There are no significant flooding concerns right now, but the Bow River at Lake Louise and at Banff has risen approximately half a metre in the last week, Alberta Environment's river basins website says.

"The cooler temperatures forecast over the next two days are expected to slow the mountain snowmelt," the advisory says.

"However, the 10-30 mm of precipitation forecast through Friday has the potential to cause additional water level increases along the Bow River and its tributaries."

Canmore has closed one of its pathways with more closures possible in the coming days.

The Town of Banff may close the walking trails west of downtown in the next few days.

Near Lake Louise, snowmelt has increased water levels in the Pipestone River and the Bow River, causing the flooding of low-lying areas, the province says.
