Area Waterways To Remain High All Weekend

Today's steady rain will keep local rivers and creeks running high through the weekend.

Local Conservation Authorities report that most rivers and tributaries are running higher than normal for this time of year.

Some low-lying areas along rivers could be flooded, but there is no risk to communities. Anglers, canoeists and kayakers should be aware of the stronger flows.

Banks adjacent to rivers and creeks are slippery, and when combined with fast-moving water - pose a serious hazard.

Flows are expected to remain above normal summer levels throughout the weekend.
