Parts of southern Manitoba have been hit by a lot of rain, and even snow, as a low-pressure system moves in from the United States.
Natalie Hasell, a warning preparedness meteorologist with Environment and Climate Change Canada, said the areas closest to the Canada-U.S. border received the most precipitation over the last 24 hours.
Both Deerwood and Morden each reported 69 to 70 millimetres of rain just before 3 p.m. Friday.
Pilot Mound had 56 mm, Carman received 58 mm, and Portage la Prairie reported between 40 and 50 mm.
As for Winnipeg, the city recorded between 20 and 25 mm. Hasell noted Winnipeg may miss out on more precipitation Friday, going into Saturday.
"We might be in a bit of a gap. So we might not get quite as much precipitation in Winnipeg proper, but a lot of the areas around us, and not too far away, are looking very likely to reach our warning numbers," said Hasell.
Despite that, the precipitation is still impacting activities in Winnipeg. The Goldeyes announced the team's game scheduled for Friday has been postponed and will be made up on Saturday.
