Highlights:

• Rainfall over the last 24 hours between 15 to 20 mm across the watershed region
• 
  Warmer temperatures have reduced most of the snowpack resulting in significant melt water
• 
  Localized flooding in the region
• 
  Road closures

Water levels have been climbing over the past 24 hours and have resulted in over-bank flooding into floodplain areas as the
precipitation and melting snow from the last 24 hours continues to drain through the watershed. Localized flooding will continue
to expand in low lying areas overnight, mostly agricultural and parkland areas.
Water levels in the upper areas of the watershed are expected to begin to fall overnight, while the levels in the lower watershed
areas are expected to begin falling tomorrow once the snowmelt is complete resulting from above seasonal temperatures. No
significant additional precipitation is anticipated over the next 24 hours.

Roads impacted by high water levels include:
St. Clair Township:
– Waterworks Road near Stanley Road
– Pretty Road near Stanley Road

Additional roads and watercourses may continue to be affected however conditions are expected to improve overnight and into Sunday. Municipal emergency response staff and road superintendents should review emergency response
plans and monitor local conditions closely. Additional bulletins will be issued should conditions change.

Residents are reminded to avoid watercourses and flood areas due to slippery banks and cold and swift moving water.

The St. Clair Region Conservation Authority will monitor the flood condition of the watersheds in the region and will provide warnings to municipal officials and media in the event conditions develop which could result in the potential of
more severe flooding.
