Toronto and Region Conservation advises that evening thunderstorm activity within the Greater Toronto Area has resulted in excess of 30mm of rainfall in parts of the Don River watershed. As a result, water levels within the Don River are very high and should be considered dangerous. Additional weather systems developing to the west of the City are not expected to produce significant rainfall amounts in the GTA overnight, however the Conservation Authority will continue to monitor the weather and water levels.
Drivers should exercise extreme caution and avoid driving through low lying areas and roadways, particularly at underpasses.
This Flood Outlook - Watershed Conditions Statement will be in effect through Tuesday, August 28, 2012. For more information please contact the on-call Flood Duty Officer at 416.661.6514.
