- Upwards of 25 mm of precipitation over the next 48 hours
- Winds gusts up to 55 km/h
- Minor flooding possible
Southerly winds beginning Tuesday are forecasted to become southeasterly Tuesday evening, increasing in speed early Wednesday and continuing through the day before subsiding early Thursday. Wind gusts are anticipated to be upwards of 55 km/h. Winds from a southerly direction have the potential to cause a backwater effect in the Wallaceburg area, further slowing the movement of water out of the river and contributing to elevated water levels.
River banks are expected to be slippery, with possible minor erosion. Residents are reminded to avoid watercourses and flooded areas due to slippery banks and cold, swift moving water. Children and pets should be kept away from the water.
The Conservation Authority continues to monitor watershed conditions and will issue advisories to municipalities and media should flood issues arise.
Municipal emergency response staff and road superintendents should monitor local conditions closely.
This message will remain in effect until Thursday, April 30, 2020, unless otherwise updated.
