Credit Valley Conservation advises that Environment Canada is forecasting overnight showers with the risk of thunderstorms bringing localized rain fall amounts in the range of 15-25mm. The chance of early morning to early afternoon thunderstorms are forecasted Saturday, with possible rainfall amounts in the 5-10mm range.
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 Water Safety will be in effect through Sunday June 27, 2021 or until further notice.
