The Lake Simcoe Region Conservation Authority advises that Environment Canada has released a Special Weather Statement forecasting heavy rain and thunderstorm activity in the Lake Simcoe Watershed. Locally heavy rainfall of 30-50 mm is possible.
While widespread flooding is not expected, the possibility for flooding in various low-lying areas of the watershed exists. Watercourses will be flowing higher than normal causing local streams and rivers to become dangerous, especially in the vicinity of culverts and bridges. Children should be warned to stay away from all watercourses.
This watershed conditions statement will be in effect through Monday, July 31, 2023.
