Highlights:
-
- 15-65 mm rain past 24 hours
- Rising water levels, minor flooding possible
As the influx of water moves through the watershed, water levels will continue to rise with the potential for additional locations experiencing minor flooding. Hot and drier than normal conditions over the past several weeks have created a greater storage capacity in soil and watercourses and as a result significant flooding is not 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.
