This week's map shows the total amount of precipitation that fell across the Prairies during the 30-day period ending April 25. Eastern and northern regions of the Prairies saw fairly low amounts, with totals only in the 10- to 15-millimetre range. Southwestern Saskatchewan, southeastern Alberta and along the foothills saw significantly more precipitation with amounts as high as 50 to 100 mm. -- Daniel Bezte
