An additional 30mm of rain over the past 24 has caused water levels and flows in&nbsp; local lakes and rivers to rise higher than normal for this time of year.&nbsp;&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The 7-day weather forecast issued by Environment Canada is also calling for mild daytime highs of 1 degree through tomorrow and overnight lows of minus 1 tonight and minus 5&nbsp; degrees Celsius tomorrow before colder day and nighttime temperatures settle in.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Description of Current Conditions&nbsp;<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Water levels and river flows are higher than normal in the Parry Sound and Muskoka area for this time of year.&nbsp;&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Runoff from rain and snowmelt is expected to cause water levels and river flows to increase further or remain high through the next several days. Nuisance flooding in some flood-prone locations will likely occur before water levels are expected to recede with colder weather forecasted into next week.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n<h5 style=\"text-align: center;\">Don\u2019t miss out on Doppler!<\/h5>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\"><strong>Sign up <a href=\"https:\/\/doppleronline.ca\/huntsville\/dont-miss-out-on-doppler\/\"><u>here<\/u><\/a> to receive our email digest with links to our most recent stories.<br \/>\nLocal news in your inbox so you don&#8217;t miss anything!<\/strong><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\"><a style=\"background: #5cb85c url('https:\/\/d1iczxrky3cnb2.cloudfront.net\/red_logo.png') no-repeat 37px; color: #fff; text-decoration: none; font-family: Verdana,sans-serif; display: inline-block; font-size: 16px; padding: 15px 38px; padding-left: 75px; -webkit-border-radius: 2px; -moz-border-radius: 2px; border-radius: 2px; box-shadow: 0 1px 0 0 #1f5a89; text-shadow: 0 1px rgba(0, 0, 0, 0.3);\" href=\"https:\/\/donorbox.org\/support-huntsville-doppler\">Click here to support local news<\/a><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\"><broadstreet-zone zone-id=\"45657\" keywords=\"\" soft-keywords=\"true\" zone-alias=\"\"><\/broadstreet-zone>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The Ministry of Natural Resources and Forestry \u2013 Parry Sound District is advising area&nbsp; residents that a Watershed Conditions Statement &#8211; Flood Outlook Bulletin is in effect in the&nbsp; district [&#8230;]<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1904,"featured_media":129375,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_acf_changed":false,"footnotes":""},"categories":[10],"tags":[3202],"class_list":["post-129224","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-news","tag-possible-flooding"],"acf":[],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v25.8 -
