Who got the most rain? Environment Canada releases latest totals
Weather warnings continue around Saskatchewan Tuesday
Estevan, Sask., got a break from the weatherman Monday and was spared the torrential rainfall it saw on the weekend — but other communities got hammered instead.
Twenty-four communities received more than 50 millimetres of rain in the 32 hours that ended 8 a.m. CST Tuesday.
The rainiest spot was Bjorkdale, a village of about 200 located 250 kilometres east of Saskatoon. It received about 98 millimetres, according to Environment Canada.
(Watrous originally had a report of 88.9 mm, but that total was later downgraded to 62.3 mm when a different rain gauge was used.)

A wide area of Saskatchewan continued to be under a rainfall warning on Tuesday.
In Estevan, a major cleanup was underway after it received as much as 130 millimetres in some areas.

The weather office said today's rainfall warnings will remain in effect until the entire system moves off into Manitoba later in the day.
