How much rain fell in Estevan yesterday? How much more is on the way?

Hail and flash flooding hit Estevan Tuesday afternoon during the first big thunderstorm of 2023.

The deluge caused the Estevan Police Service to block off part of Souris Avenue.

A monitoring station near the Estevan Airport recorded 11.2 millimetres of precipitation on Tuesday. Though the storm didn't appear to hit some of the nearby areas - such as Bienfait and Benson - nearly as hard.
