Weather Conditions
Environment Canada has stated that a
weather system may bring approximately 25-30 mm of rainfall to the Greater
Toronto area tonight. The forecasted rain will continue overnight into the
morning hours.
Issues:
The forecasted rainfall amounts will
result in higher than normal water levels and flows in Greater Toronto Area
rivers and streams. The combination of slippery and unstable banks,
unsafe ice and cold water temperature will create very hazardous conditions
close to any river, stream or other water body.
Actions:
Please stay away from rivers, streams
and exercise caution around all bodies of water. Please alert any children
under your care of these dangers and supervise their activities.
Toronto and Region Conservation will
continue to monitor the weather and watershed conditions and will issue further
messages as necessary. This Water Safety Watershed Conditions Statement will be
in effect through Wednesday, February 3, 2016. For more information please
contact the on-call Flood Duty Officer.
