With rain falling right now forecast to just be the beginning, province today put out a precautionary overland flood warning for areas that include parts of Southwest MB including Brandon based on potential accumulation of precip from now to Wednesday of 100-150mm:

From data on the Environment Canada page, Brandon had a grand total of 29.8mm in all of July and then had moisture on just two days in all of August that totalled 51.5mm. Counting the little bit that fell after the calendar turned to summer in June, Brandon has seem 91.3mm all summer meaning we could very well double our precip for the whole season over these next few days.  
 
Env Canada currently has a rainfall warning in place through to Saturday morning:

Probably not the worst idea to safely make sure storm drains in the neighbourhood are free and clear!

3" in our rain gauge from yesterday/last night 1 block west of Shoppers Mall

Env Canada data page has Brandon as having gotten 63.6mm (about 2 1/2 inches) on Friday. Fell short of the August 20 record of 77.6mm (1980).  
 
Not sure we got as much after midnight as it looked like we could… my gauge caught a little less than 10mm from midnight to now.  
 
Looks like dry today before more starting Sunday morning into Sunday night… and then another shot Monday overnight into Tuesday.
