Justin Shaer said 680 CJOB’s The start that the region received a fair amount of rain, between 20 and 30 millimeters.

“It has spread basically from the Morden and Killarney area to Whiteshell and the Ontario border in the east,” Shaer said.

“Under this system, we will still have a decent decline, be it with highs in the high teens or lows overnight in the single digits,” he said.

“But at least in the high single digits. We do not expect anything to exceed this zero threshold in the foreseeable future.”
