Flood Potential: Low
Issued to: local municipalities and school boards, local conservation authorities, emergency response agencies, health unit, media, NVCA board and staff
Date: April 05, 2025 (4:50 PM)
The Nottawasaga Valley Conservation Authority is downgrading our flood warning to a Flood Outlook. The public, especially children, are advised to stay away from all area water bodies due to unstable slippery banks, and fast-flowing watercourses creating dangerous conditions.
A low-pressure system is expected to bring 15–20 mm of rainfall to Southern Ontario on Monday, April 7. Combined with recent snowmelt and saturated ground conditions, this may lead to rising river and stream levels and an increased risk of localized flooding. While major flooding is not expected, localized flooding remains possible due to elevated water levels from recent warm temperatures and precipitation.
The NVCA continues to monitor conditions and will issue updates as necessary. This statement remains in effect until 4:30 PM Tuesday, April 8, 2025.
