Warm temperatures and precipitation will accelerate the rate of snowmelt, resulting in a sudden rise in water levels and flow, the conservation authority said
The Conservation Authority said the statement will remain in effect until 10 a.m. April 12.
"A series of weather systems are expected to bring a mix of rain and snow in the next 48 hours followed by warm temperatures," Conservation Sudbury said in the statement. "Water levels and flows in area watercourses are currently within the normal seasonal range. Warmer temperatures will accelerate the rate of snowmelt resulting in a sudden rise in water levels and flow.
"All watersheds within the City of Greater Sudbury still have a significant snowpack that holds anywhere between 160 and 180 mm of water content. Water levels will not decrease rapidly and developing conditions must be closely monitored by all residents especially those living in known low-lying, hazard areas where overland flooding could become an issue.""Public safety is the No. 1 priority, especially for children who may be attracted to the edge of creeks or rivers.
The authority said residents living adjacent to water courses and in low-lying areas must monitor their properties and be aware that situations could change. "Conservation Sudbury remains in direct contact with the City of Greater Sudbury and all other partners as required. Conservation Sudbury staff continue with the monitoring of water levels; updates will be provided as required. For more information please visit ConservationSudbury.ca.
