WATERSHED CONDITIONS: WATER SAFETY STATEMENT
Weather Forecast:
Environment Canada is forecasting rainfall amounts up to 40 mm by late Saturday night.
Environmental Conditions:
Flows in the South Nation River Watershed are high for this time of year. Water flows are expected to further increase in the coming days due to expected precipitation and melting snow.
Risks:
Rainfall is likely to produce higher water levels and possible nuisance flooding in low-lying areas across the jurisdiction.
ACTION:
Residents are advised to exercise caution when near rivers as the forecasted weather may rapidly increase river flows and cause slippery riverbanks. Parents are encouraged to explain these dangers to their children.
Duration:
This water safety statement is in effect until Monday, December 13, 2021 at 5 PM or until an update has been issued.
SNC monitors the water levels and weather forecasts as part of the Flood Forecasting and Warning Program. Updates are provided as conditions change.
