Special Weather Statement In Effect

Heavy rainfall possible tonight through Tuesday.

Showers and thunderstorms will spread from Saskatchewan into Manitoba tonight, intensifying as they move east. It is likely that some of these heavier showers slow down or stall over some portion of southwest Manitoba heading into Tuesday, resulting in higher precipitation amounts.

Widespread accumulations of 10-40 mm are expected by Tuesday evening, with locally higher amounts possible with prolonged thunderstorms.
