The Lake Simcoe Region Conservation Authority advises that Environment Canada has released a Special Weather Statement forecasting widespread rainfall amounts of 30 to 50 mm. Localized amounts in excess of 50mm 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 Tuesday, Oct. 10, 2023.
