Highlights:
-
- Upwards of 50 mm of rain
- Potential for minor flooding, increased flows
- Thunderstorms with high intensity rainfall
High amounts of rainfall in a short period of time can lead to increased runoff and flash flooding, particularly in urban areas, and may temporarily overwhelm municipal drains resulting in ponding on roads.
Water levels may rise into natural floodplain areas, farm fields and parks if the higher forecasted amount of rain is received; no significant flooding is anticipated at this time.
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.
