Conservation Authority has issued a Flood Outlook Statement for Nov 29th 2024:
The Sault Ste. Marie Region Conservation Authority (SSMRCA) is issuing a flood outlook statement
to inform residents about current watershed conditions. Flood forecasting and warnings are part of
the SSMRCA’s provincially mandated responsibilities, and this statement serves to keep the public
aware of potential flooding risks.
Intense snow squalls from Lake Superior have already brought over 90 cm of snow to the region,
with additional hazardous lake effect snow expected until Saturday night. Local accumulations may
exceed 60 cm in some areas. Wet snow and freezing water are affecting local rivers and streams,
which are already flowing at high levels.
The accumulation of wet snow is expected to elevate water levels in local watercourses, increasing
the risk of high flows. Some areas may experience flooding due to ice jams and the significant wet
snow accumulation. The SSMRCA’s flood control channels will be affected by heavy wet snow and
freezing. High water levels and flows are expected due to significant snow accumulation. It is
important to note that the water in rivers, streams, and channels will be high during and after this
event.
The SSMRCA will continue to monitor stream flows throughout the watershed and provide updates
as new information becomes available. Residents and visitors are strongly advised to stay away
from flood control channels and all waterways, as fast-moving water presents significant hazards.
Please ensure that children and pets are kept away from these areas.
This statement is in effect until December 5, 2024.
