Variable amounts of rain have fallen across the region yesterday, ranging from 15 – 30 mm. River flows are expected to be elevated through the weekend with possible localized flooding in floodplain areas as a result of recent rainfall and snow melt. Rainfall and warmer temperatures have left minor traces of snow on the land and further influence in the water levels is not expected.
Individuals are reminded to avoid watercourses and flooded areas due to dangerous conditions, 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 Sunday, February 12, 2023 unless otherwise updated.
