Flows out of Lake Muskoka into the Bala Reach are expected to surpass the flood warning levels of 280cms within the next 24 hours as the Lake Muskoka water level continues to rise.<\/p>\n<p>Flows in the North Branch Muskoka River within the Town of Bracebridge are expected to continue to rise over the lower flooding thresholds in the next few days.<\/p>\n<p>All rivers in the District are currently experiencing high flows resulting from thunderstorms that occurred earlier this week and significant snow melt. It is expected that lower-lying portions of known flood-prone roads along river courses will be impacted to various degrees as river levels remain high. High water levels in the Huntsville Lakes (Lake Vernon, Fairy Lake and Peninsula Lake) and Mary Lake, typical during the spring, are expected to build and remain high as runoff from the forecasted rain and continuing snow melt makes its way through the watercourse.<\/p>\n<p>Residents within the Parry Sound-Muskoka area should keep a close watch on conditions, regularly check for updated messages and exercise caution around water bodies as flows and levels within lakes, rivers and streams remain high. Residents who have a historic susceptibility to flooding should consider taking action to secure or protect any property in flood-prone or vulnerable areas. This may include ensuring sump pumps are functioning and\/or securing items along the shore line as water levels rise.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\"><strong>Don\u2019t miss out on Doppler!
