Pour southern sk

If this happens this can't be good for lentils and nerves. And the spelling was intentional in the title.

I dont know but it seems like when they forcast huge amounts of rainfall or big snowfall dumps they dont happen. I would be more worried if they didnt forcast it thats when the bad ones usually hit. If its right though sf3 will go berserk.

At least you can't say they didn't warn you. ...as the wet blanket potentially gets heavier!

We have about half a mile visibility in fog this morning...

The satellite looks scarey for today. Last night Weyburn and Wilcox had radar over them for awhile, but I haven't heard about rainfall amounts. Regina area just got missed last night. Hope this front moves on quickly, without the dire predictions of Weathernetwork. Two days ago they predicted about 2 inches today, close to three tomorrow and more after that. Can't happen, real farmers have faith - right?

well we finally got some rain here we missed just about all the rain in june, hopefullly we get some more out of this system 7mm so far and raining lightly

The image posted last Thurs suggest our area east of Edm would get 2 in the next week and as of this morning we are just over that so the practical solution is to build an ark.

East of Red deer, we got an inch of rain last night. First good rain since May. Very thankful. We have been quite dry, not building an ark yet:-)

Your crops should be well rooted.

And easily suck the moisture up.

That kind of rains KILLED the crops in 2010 in May, early June. Very different now. Drown outs and a MESS of haying for sure. Drainage ditches full again, impossible to mow for 3 years already.

If it isn't already, "souther" should be a drink that isn't comprised of any part water!

How much leaf do Soybean twigs need to come back?

Rain, rain, go away. Come again May 15, 2017 - pretty please!

This big storm event is going to be a big non event. Just a gut feeling with a splash of wishful thinking.

City of Regina
An extended period of rain is expected.

A slow moving low pressure system over southern Saskatchewan is expected to intensify and give an area of significant rain to much of the southern portion of the province by Tuesday. Strong, potentially severe thunderstorms ahead of the system will develop tonight and are expected to give generally 20 to 30 mm of rain with much higher amounts in thunderstorms. As the low pressure system intensifies overnight, heavy rains will continue and could give close to another 40 to 50 mm of rain by Tuesday morning. Although there is some uncertainty in the exact area and intensity of the heaviest rains, 48 hour total rainfall amounts, in some areas, could exceed 100 mm with this event.

A four letter word comes to mind and its not rain.

No problem, it is missing us. The Regina block is back. Right on!
