Ice jams that are in some locations will be moving in response to the increasing river flows. Locally increased flooding could occur at these locations due to obstructed flow. As these ice jams move downstream its possible they might become lodged again temporarily, creating localized flooding at new locations.
Municipal public works staff are advised to monitor roads, bridges, and culverts where flooding in typical areas is likely to occur, but attention should be directed particularly to sites where ice jamming is possible.
The public is reminded to avoid rivers and streams as high flows pose a safety risk, and banks will be icy and slippery.
Saugeen Valley Conservation Authority staff will be monitoring river flows and weather conditions.
