Red River might crest twice due to rain next week

A weather system is expected to bring 15-20mm (about 0.79 in) precipitation across much of southern Manitoba this week.

According to Manitoba Transportation and Infrastructure (MTI), this could result in a higher crest or a second crest at some locations on the Red River, depending on the amount of precipitation received.

MTI reports the Red River remains near its crest at Drayton, North Dakota. The forecast for the Red River in Manitoba is under review and will be updated later on the flood sheets and hydrographs.
