Credit Valley Conservation advises that Environment Canada is forecasting severe thunderstorms this evening and after midnight bringing localized rainfall amounts in the range of 15-30mm.
Flooding of the Credit River and its major tributaries are not expected. However, intense rainfall associated with thunderstorms may result in flooding of small headwater and urban areas. Some watersheds may respond with higher flows and water levels. As a result, local streams and rivers could become dangerous, especially in the vicinity of culverts, bridges and dams. Children should be warned to stay away from all watercourses.
CVC will continue to closely monitor weather and water levels in the watershed. The Watershed Conditions Statement for Flood Outlook will be in effect through Wednesday July 21, 2021 or until further notice.
To view current watershed conditions, please visit our real-time monitoring website: https://cvc.ca/watershed-science/watershed-monitoring/real-time-monitoring/
