THERE IS STILL CONSIDERABLE DISCREPANCY BETWEEN THE GUIDANCE IN TERMS OF HOW LONG THE PRECIPITATION WILL PERSIST, WITH THE CANADIAN MODEL BY FAR THE MOST PESSIMISTIC, KEEPING PRECIPITATION THROUGH TUESDAY AND TUESDAY NIGHT, AND THUS WOULD HAVE AMOUNTS MUCH HIGHER THA INDICATED ABOVE. ALL OTHER GUIDANCE MOVES THE SYSTEM OUT TUESDAY MORNING, WHICH SEEMS TO BE THE PREFERRED SCENARIO AT THIS TIME. THE FORECASTER MAY BE CONTACTED AT 1-902-426-4813 OR AT WEATHERASPC(a)EC.GC.CA END/ASPC
