Another weather system is expected to bring up to 30mm of rainfall to southern Ontario on Tuesday and Wednesday, which will result in increased river flows throughout the Grand River watershed.
Ground conditions are frozen and/or saturated due to recent weather events. No significant flooding is anticipated with this event; however, higher river flows in local waterways will increase the risk in low-lying areas typically prone to flooding.
The weather system moving into southern Ontario on Friday will bring mild temperatures and moderate rainfall across the Grand River watershed. These warmer temperatures have triggered a gradual melting of the snow pack, which will result in runoff into local waterways. Moderate rainfall is expected to accompany this weather system with up to 40mm forecast for many parts of the watershed over the next five days.
All Townships roads are now plowed and opened. Thank you to our hard working team for their efforts.
Plow operators and roads crew continues today to clean up the roads around the Township. There are still a few areas that the Township Roads Department is asking travelers to avoid.
