The Grand River Conservation Authority says it is terminating a flood warning message previously in effect.
However a flood watch remained in place as of Monday for the entire Grand River watershed due to elevated river flows and the weather forecast, the GRCA said in a news release.
The weather that moved through the area over the weekend resulted in 35 to 70 mm of rain and additional melting of the remaining snowpack.
The GRCA said while river flows are receding, they will remain elevated through the week.
Meanwhile, an additional 30 to 50 mm of rain is forecast over the next three days, with most of the rain expected to fall on Wednesday.
There is also the potential for localized thunderstorms. Conditions are being monitored closely and updates will be issued as necessary, the GRCA said.
Reservoirs are at their normal level for this time of year and will be operated to manage the runoff and mitigate downstream flooding during this event, the conservation authority added.
Banks adjacent to local waterways are slippery and, when combined with cold, fast-moving water, pose a serious hazard.
Parents are reminded to keep children and pets away from all water bodies.
Residents are encouraged to familiarize themselves with local municipal flood response programs and be prepared for flooding due to the elevated risk at this time.
Information on the flood warning system is available on the GRCA website.
