A major weather system brought more than 40 mm of rain to the Ottawa region over the weekend and the board says any remaining snow in the north has melted and run off into the river.
"Minor flood levels are occurring in multiple locations between Mattawa and the Montreal region," the board says. "Major flood levels are expected to be exceeded in flood prone areas over the next few days." The board says that some areas could see levels similar to or in excess of where they were in May 2017, but water levels should still be 45 cm to 1 m below historic 2019 levels.
Based on the latest weather forecasts and information available as of Monday, the Ottawa River Regulation Planning Board says the following conditions are expected along the main stem of the Ottawa River over the coming week:: Minor flooding is already occurring. Levels are expected to continue rising until they reach a peak of about 154.55 – 154.60 m on Thursday. This corresponds to a rise in level of 45 to 50 cm compared to the observed level on Monday at 8 a.m.
Water levels had stabilized last week prior to the significant rainfall. A flood warning was issued for the lower Ottawa River from Arnprior to Hawkesbury last Friday.
