We are now at the #FloodWarning stage, with minor flooding expected. The #warning is issued for a 2 day period, starting at 5AM this morning. The #GrandRiver has already produced some #road #washouts, and some have been closed before becoming impassable.

The #ThornappleRiver is also rapidly approaching #alert levels, which will widen the impact further.

Yep... still #raining regularly enough that we've reached the #FloodWatch stage, and it's currently in force for the next 2 days, i.e., there's stll more on the way and it's accumulating.

Expectations are that the #GrandRiver may crest to the 18 foot level before the alert ends. Any increase in forecasted #rain will likely mean a #FloodWarning is next, and it turns from possible minor #flooding to major levels... and washouts and bank overflows are expected.

The Grand River Conservation Authority says up to 60 mm of rain is expected in the watershed over the next few days and that is expected to 'generate significant runoff' which could lead to flooding. A flood watch has been issued for the entire watershed.
