This polygon layer represents accumulated precipitation forecasts from the Regional Ensemble Prediction System (REPS), a regional probabilistic model. It delivers ensemble‑based, short‑range precipitation forecasts—typically a 72‑hour accumulation—that aid in assessing the risk and spatial distribution of rainfall events, supporting hydrological analysis, flood forecasting, and water resource management. This polygon layer is produced by processing REPS GRIB2 files. The workflow involves extracting the precipitation field, converting it to a TIF raster, and then applying resampling, smoothing, and classification to create polygon features. These features represent forecasted rainfall totals over a 72‑hour period and are updated with each model run to maintain current predictive information. Source: Environment & Climate Change Canada
