Some minor flooding could hit waterways around Huron County.
The Ausable Bayfield Conservation Authority issued a Flood Outlook advisory, following warm temperatures and moderate rainfalls in the region.
With temperatures melting much of the area’s snowpack, river-flow forecast models indicate that levels in watercourses will quickly rise throughout the week.
While many watercourses are expected to exceed their banks, major flooding is not anticipated.
Residents are reminded that all ice should be considered unsafe.
Slippery and unstable streambanks, streambanks hidden by drifted snow, and extremely cold water temperatures are creating additional hazards.
