A storm system will bring a healthy dose of much-needed rain to drought-stricken and wildfire-ravaged western Canada from late this weekend into next week, according to AccuWeather forecasters.
The rain, which will total several inches (or locally over 100 mm (0.33 feets)) through Tuesday, will fall over areas hardest hit by the nearly 100 wildfires that have scorched over a million acres early this spring and forced the evacuation of thousands of people.
