Parts of Sask. could get up to 4 inches of rain by Wednesday
It is a rainy day across central and southern Saskatchewan, but certain areas are getting hit with a lot more rain than others.
Environment Canada has issuedheavy rainfall warnings across the southwest and central parts of the province. The warnings stretch from the Manitoba border toward Melfort and Humboldt across to Saskatoon, Prince Albert and then south through Davidson, Moose Jaw, west to Swift Current and south to Cypress Hills.
Meteorologist Terri Lang says radar shows the heaviest bands of rain are sitting over Melfort and heading in a band southwest to Moose Jaw, Swift Current and Cypress Hills.
“That whole mass is just going to keep rotating around this big upper low. You can see on a satellite picture it just looks like a big cinnamon bun with all these showers and thundershowers that are swirling around it and some of these have quite heavy showers embedded in them,” she said. “So you can get very heavy amounts in a very short period of time.”
