3:45 PM CDT Thursday 28 April 2022 Rainfall warning in effect for areas in red
Rain, at times heavy, is expected. The ground, already near saturation, has little ability to absorb further rainfall. Another 20-50 mm of rain will begin Friday night in southern Manitoba as third major low pressure system in as many weeks impacts southern Manitoba. Rain will lift northwards into the province on Friday night, bringing 20 to 50 mm of rain over the following 24-36 hours. Like the previous storm, embedded thunderstorms are also possible and could bring high rainfall rates to the region.
