The rain is expected to continue Tuesday but we can likely see the light through the dark clouds.

Emergency Preparedness Meteorologist John-Paul Cragg says the spurts of down pours will continue however before we see the end of this weather system.

"Yeah, for sure, there is going to be rain wrapping around this upper-low over and over and over again."

"You will get a little bit of a break and then more rain will move in and then a break and then more rain will move in and that's going to continue all the way through Tuesday afternoon when the rain will start to die down a little."

Depending who you asked but reports already had over four inches falling Sunday night. Showers continued all day Monday on and off dropping over another inch in the process.

At most points during Monday's work day the rain was steady but there was downpours, Cragg says more of the same will be expected through the first half of Tuesday.

"It's not just going to be rain fall, it will be embedded thunderstorms so local areas will definitely be at risk of seeing heavier rain even on top of what's falling."

Cragg explains why we have been blasted for the past two days and why the 60 kilometre/hour wind predicted for Tuesday is what the doctor ordered.

"It's called a 'cold-low' and it's sitting right over Saskatchewan and it's just rotating there, it's not moving anywhere. We need to get something going in the atmosphere to get it kicked out and start to move east. We have to wait until Tuesday for the winds to shift and start to push this system out."
