Taking a look at where that's coming from so further south to north and south dakota. This particular system is going to be pushing its way further north. It's going to reach here in winnipeg overnight, probably around midnight is when we'll start to see that rain. Now tonight here in much of southern manitoba and ontario, like nor in fort frances, about 10 to 15 millimetres is expected to fall, but much of the rain will actually be coming through that day. So as you can see, there's even a potential for some snow to the west because of some cooler temperatures expected now along with out throughout the day, that heavy rain is going to really cover most of southern manitoba north will remain free of that precipitation. But because of all this heavy rain, there's actually an overland flood warning for southern manitoba. And as you can see in ontario, including kenora, that rain is expected to continue friday night and into saturday along with here, we will see that continue to fall saturday night as well as potentially very early sunday morning, just really depending on how far this particular system wants to hang around here right now is currently 15 degrees in winnipeg. 16 in portage taking a look further north.
