Rainfall Warning
Environment Canada advised early on Thursday, June 11 that a prolonged period of moderate to heavy rainfall is expected over parts of Northern Manitoba, including Thompson, Island Lake, Gillam and Shamattawa, today and continuing through the weekend. The rain is the result of a stalled low pressure system over the area. 30 to 50 mm of rain could fall by Friday morning, with an additional 20 to 30 mm by Sunday afternoon. Rainfall totals will vary by area but heavy rainfall could result in water pooling on roads and in low-lying areas.
