Credit Valley Conservation (CVC) advises that Environment Canada is predicting that the remnants of Hurricane Beryl may bring heavy localized rainfall and torrential downpours in the next 12-72 hours. The system is forecasted to begin tonight with localized rain fall totals possibly greater than 50mm and intermittent downpours 20-40mm per hour.
While flooding of the Credit River and its major tributaries is not expected, the forecasted rainfall total is likely to result in overland flooding in urban areas and flooding of smaller local streams, with rivers becoming dangerous, especially in the vicinity of culverts, bridges, and dams. The public is advised to stay away from all watercourses, especially children and pets.
CVC will continue to closely monitor weather and water levels in the watershed. The Watershed Conditions Statement for Flood Outlook will be in effect through Thursday, July 11 2024, or until further notice.
