The Lake Simcoe Region Conservation Authority advises that the water levels in Lake Simcoe are higher than average for this time of year, due to recent rainfall and snowmelt.

There is a high risk of dike failures in the Keswick, Kolbar and Bradford polders.  Depending on wind conditions, there may be localized effects on lake levels, leading to increased flooding.
