Maitland Conservation says a weather system this evening and overnight has the potential for embedded thunderstorms that may result in localized areas receiving rainfall up to 25 mm.
In a watershed condition statement, the conservation authority said river levels are expected to reach, or slightly exceed bank full conditions, with flooding limited to traditional flood-prone areas. Residents are reminded to stay away from rivers, ditches and streams. Flows will be very fast and very cold over the next couple of days.
Maitland Conservation will continue to monitor the forecast and will provide an update on watershed conditions if warranted.
