Watershed conditions - flood outlook

The Lake Simcoe Region Conservation Authority advises that warmer temperatures and rain is forecast for Tuesday and Wednesday. Daytime temperatures are expected to range between +3 to +8 degrees. Rainfall amounts of 5-10 mm are forecast for Tuesday with another 15-20 mm forecast for Wednesday.

While widespread flooding is not expected, the possibility for flooding in various low-lying areas of the watershed exists due to the expected rainfall and melting of the snowpack.  There is also the potential for ice breakup in some areas resulting from melting and increased flows.  Ice jams may be possible in some of the watercourses.

Watercourses will be flowing higher than normal causing local streams and rivers to become dangerous, especially in the vicinity of culverts and bridges. Children and pets should be warned to stay away from all watercourses.

This watershed conditions statement will be in effect through Friday, March 7, 2025, at 10:30 a.m.
