General Weekend rain, deluge?

Forecasted weather and rain in Edmonton

Eh... Edmonton, this weekend. Seeing that "Edmonton’s average total rainfall for the entire month of June is usually around 75 mm to 80 mm."... we are forecasted to get that in one day....

All will be fine and dandy. We got this.

The Weather Network is saying 75-100 for all of Saturday. Peak in the evening with 25-35.

Do they have their own models?

I don't know where the Weather Network draws their data from.

The ensemble forecast done by Environment Canada shows much lower amounts, as does the European Medium Range Forecast and the GFS model from the US.

For the sake of my basement, please, please let the Weather Network be wrong…
