A low pressure system moving up from the Dakota’s into the eastern Prairies this morning. The heaviest rains are currently falling in western and central Manitoba.  There is also a low pressure system in northern Saskatchewan which is bringing light showers/fog to northern Alberta. This week is expected to see a number of systems track through the eastern Prairies over the next five days. The western areas of the Prairies are expected to be cool and mostly dry through the week. There maybe some overnight snow in northern growing regions, but temperatures should be  warm enough to keep it from remaining for the winter season.
