Wildfire risk in the Grande Prairie Forest Area remains high despite last night’s storm.

Alberta Wildfire says the rain was scattered and many parts of the forest remain dry and susceptible to lightning.

A red flag watch remains in effect for the area and a fire ban is still in effect for the entire Forest Protection Area of Alberta.
