Southeast Saskatchewan is looking to bounce back after a lack of moisture caused a record-low July, with some on the way for August.
July was the driest on record for Estevan, with only 2 mm, the driest out of over 100 years.
Environment Canada Meteorologist Natalie Hasell says while we have beaten that number already in August, it'll take more rain to get a good bit of moisture into the area.
"I don't think you've gotten very much yet, you got 0.9 mm on the 5th and 1.5 mm on the 6th. So you are at 2.4 mm right now for the month of August. So you have beaten the 2.2 mm in July."
"Assuming we do get some precipitation in a few days, then we will see greater amounts than you saw in July, but we're stuck in this trend where we've got quite a few days of no precipitation again, at least this week, so we'll have to wait and see how it goes."
Hasell says that most models are predicting a mid-week rain to give some moisture back to the area.
"A lot of models agree that there should be something on the 13th of August, but there's a lot of variability in terms of amounts and maybe timing as well because some models are suggesting our continued visitation into the 14th, some models are not, so it's a little far forecast wise to really say anything with confidence, with any certainty at this point."
Even if the rain doesn't come through at that moment, conditions have set themselves up so that precipitation will be landing somewhere in the southeast.
"It does look like after the ridge moves off as per usual, it will be replaced by some kind of low-pressure system, and depending on the track of that system, you may or may not get a lot of precipitation, and of course, we're talking about thunderstorms too, so if a thunderstorm passes over your area, you'll get more precipitation than your neighbors so it will have to wait and see."
