Rain, at times heavy, is expected.
Hazards: Total rainfall amounts of 50 to 60 mm.
Timing: Today through Saturday afternoon.
Discussion: Heavy rain has moved into southern Manitoba as a strong low-pressure system tracks northwards from the Dakotas. Most of the rain with this system will fall today, with the heaviest rain expected this morning.
Heavy rain will gradually taper off tonight before ending by midday Saturday. Northerly wind gusts up to 60 km/h will accompany the rain on Friday and Saturday. Localized flooding in low-lying areas is possible.
If visibility is reduced while driving, turn on your lights and maintain a safe following distance. Rainfall warnings are issued when significant rainfall is expected.
