From Prince Albert and Lloydminster all the way down to Estevan and Maple Creek, most of southern Saskatchewan is in for a cool, rainy Labour Day. According to Environment Canada, a low pressure system from Montana and North and South Dakota is bringing heavy rain and thunderstorms to southern Saskatchewan and western Manitoba Monday and through Monday night and into Tuesday. A gas station on Sherwood Drive in Regina was one of many spots flooded with excess rainwater. (Eric Stachowich/CBC) While rainfall amounts will vary across the province, Environment Canada meteorologist Dan Fulton said people could generally expect 15 to 25 millimetres of rain. 'And if you get a thunderstorm with it, easily could see 50 millimetres, so another wet day coming up,' Fulton said. That's on top of Sunday's massive rainfall totals accompanied by extreme winds and some hail, with areas like Last Mountain and Hazenmore getting over 55 millimetres. Val Marie saw the strongest winds at 93 km/h, with Regina and other regions very close around the 90 km/hr mark. As of Monday morning, Environment Canada has not received any storm-related damage reports, but Fulton did say baseball-sized hail was reported in Kipling on Sunday. Fulton said the rain should taper off after Tuesday.
