Very Rainy Long Weekend In Store

Get ready for a potential soaking this long weekend.  Environment Canada's Geoff Coulson says it's not far fetched to say we could get up to 100 millimetres of rain when all is said and done on Monday.   He says however, that for now the heavier amounts of rain are more likely to our west in places like Dryden and Fort Frances.  Coulson says most of the rain is expected to fall Sunday night into Monday.

Record Breaking Warmth Possible

Get ready for some unseasonably warm weather this week.  Meteorologist Geoff Coulson of Environment Canada says we could even see some record breaking temperatures.  He says Thursday's forecast high of 5 degrees would break a 60 year old record.  Coulson says there is the possibility of some snow Tuesday night into Wednesday, but there isn't expected to be a large accumulation.

Heavy Rainfall Warning Dropped

The heavy rainfall warning for the city is now ended.  Environment Canada Meteorologist Geoff Coulson says that instead of the 50 millimetres of rain we were supposed to get, we will now get 10 to 20.  He says most of the rain is moving to our south.
