Even though the rain totals were small, Winnipeg managed to register rain for the first five days and it looks like week two of this month could look similar.
This week looked like a rainy one already as of last week. While no special weather statement was issued by Environment and Climate Change Canada, they did tweet about the upcoming rain. Tweeting about rainfall totals for the next six days isn’t the norm for the weather office, but is a good sign there was model agreement in this upcoming rain event.

This will be just round one for rainfall this week. More rain is coming on Thursday and into Friday as a system will develop south of the border and move into the region later in the week. This system looks like it will bring even more rain than what is expected for Monday/Tuesday.
