Lake Simcoe Region Conservation Authority warns of potential flooding Thursday
is warning that the warmer weather and expected rainfall Thursday could lead to some flooding.
Thursday’s weather system is expected to bring temperatures well above seasonal values, with daytime highs climbing above 6 C. In addition, rainfall amounts of around 15 to 20 millimetres are expected. “As the temperatures warm up, that snowpack will start to melt and depending on how warm it gets, maybe all of it now or a good portion of it now. When we get rainfall on top of that melting snow, there’s the potential that we expect to see increased flows in our creeks and rivers around the watershed,” said Kenneth Cheney, director of engineering at the Lake Simcoe Region Conservation Authority.
“We’re not expecting widespread flooding at this point, but there’s always a potential when we get rainfall for some flooding in low-lying areas.”
