The Lake Simcoe Region Conservation Authority advises that Environment Canada has a special weather statement in effect for our area. Significant rainfall is forecast for today in portions of the Lake Simcoe watershed, with predicted rainfall accumulations of 30-50mm. Higher amounts of rainfall may occur in localized areas.
While widespread flooding is not expected, the forecast rainfall may result in flooding of low-lying areas. All watercourses in our area will experience higher than normal water levels and flows. As a result, local streams and rivers will 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 Wednesday, June 14, 2023.
