NEWS RELEASE
THE LAKE SIMCOE CONSERVATION AUTHORITY
*************************
The Lake Simcoe Region Conservation Authority advises that areas of the watershed are forecast to receive 15 to 25 mm of precipitation today and continuing through into Tuesday. Precipitation is expected to begin on Monday as rain before transitioning to snow early Tuesday morning. This system is predicted to taper off Tuesday with the return of below freezing temperatures.
Forecasted rainfall amounts mixed with some melting snow will result in higher than normal water levels and flows, creating potentially hazardous conditions. The combination of slippery and unstable banks and cold water temperature will create hazardous conditions close to any river, stream or other water bodies. Children should be warned to stay away from all watercourses.
This Watershed Conditions Statement will be in effect through Wednesday, Nov. 28, 2018.
Watershed Conditions Statement – Water Safety: A Water Safety statement may be issued when there are high flows, unsafe banks, melting ice or other factors could be dangerous for recreational users such as anglers, canoeists, hikers, children, pets, etc. Flooding is not expected.
