Experts express concerns over less rainfall, early snowmelt in Alberta

As Alberta continues to fight wildfires and deal with extreme heat warnings, climate experts are wondering what the next few months will look like for the province in terms of adequate water supply. "We went into the winter with not very much precipitation, came out of the winter with some really dry conditions and now we're really dry still," said Sara Hoffman, a meteorologist with Environment and Climate Change Canada. "Even near normal precipitation won't be enough to alleviate the situation we find ourselves in," she added.
