The Lake Simcoe Region Conservation Authority advises that areas of the watershed are forecast to receive 20 – 40mm of precipitation starting Wednesday afternoon and through Thursday. Higher amounts of rainfall may occur in localized areas as a result of thunderstorm activity.
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 Saturday, April 5, 2025, at 5 p.m. and replaces the March 28, 2025 statement due to expire on April 2 at 5 p.m.
