Significant rain for Southern Manitoba this afternoon into Wednesday morning.

A low pressure system in North Dakota will intensify and track slowly northeastward over the next 24 hours. Significant rainfall will occur over much of Southern Manitoba with widespread amounts of 25 to 45 mm expected. The more significant amounts will be along and south of the Trans Canada Highway corridor. Rain will spread northward from North Dakota early this afternoon with the heaviest rainfall expected tonight. Rain should taper off from west to east on Wednesday as this system slowly tracks east. Rainfall amounts will be quite variable as thunderstorms are also expected with this system, especially over southeastern areas of the province. Locations that fall under a slow moving thunderstorm will likely pick up over 50 mm of rain in a short period of time
