Temperatures over the next 7 days are expected to remain seasonal, with daytime highs up to +6\u00b0C and nighttime lows down to -10\u00b0C.<br><br>Lake water levels and river flows remain elevated due to recent precipitation and runoff. The forecasted precipitation over the March 27-31 weekend is anticipated to further increase these levels. Additionally, the remaining snowpack within the watershed is likely to contribute to increased runoff as a result of the precipitation.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Residents and those visiting the area are advised to be aware of current watershed conditions. Higher than normal water levels and flow conditions may develop throughout the area and residents are reminded to keep a close watch on weather conditions, regularly check for updated messages, and exercise caution near fast-moving rivers and streams.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Runoff to local lakes and rivers has increased significantly with recent rainfall, snow melt<br>and warm weather. The MNR advises residents to exercise extreme caution concerning ice conditions. No ice is safe ice.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Residents and visitors should exercise caution while around waterbodies and maintain<br>close supervision of children and pets.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Residents who have been affected by high water and flow conditions in the past should continue to take necessary action to protect\/secure any vulnerable property in proximity to rivers and lakes and closely monitor developing conditions and regularly check for updated messages. Lower-lying portions of known flood-prone areas may be impacted to various degrees.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The ministry is closely monitoring the weather and developing watershed conditions. Further updates will be issued as appropriate.<\/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\n\n\n<p><br><br><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Issued by the MNR on March 26, 2025, The Ministry of Natural Resources (MNR) \u2013 Bracebridge-Minden-Parry Sound District is advising area residents that a Flood Watch bulletin is in effect [&#8230;]<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1904,"featured_media":141996,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_acf_changed":false,"footnotes":""},"categories":[10],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-188329","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-news"],"acf":[],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v25.8 -
