The Lake Simcoe Region Conservation Authority advises that areas of the Lake Simcoe watershed have received 15 to 30 mm of rainfall since last night. Weather forecasts indicate that an additional 20 to 40 mm of rain is possible by Friday evening.
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 saturated ground conditions. Watercourses will be flowing at higher-than-normal levels, 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 and slippery banks.
This Watershed Conditions Statement will be in effect through Monday, May 26, 2025, at 12:00pm.
