The Kettle Creek Conservation Authority advises due to the record high water levels in Lake Erie, a Flood Watch will remain in effect for all shoreline areas within the authority watershed.
The risk for flood events along the shoreline is expected to remain high into the summer months when Great Lakes water levels typically drop, says Jennifer Dow, the conservation authority’s water conservation supervisor.
The greatest risk for flooding and erosion in the Kettle Creek watershed is in Port Stanley when storms bring sustained wind from the south and in particular from the southwest.
Unless superseded by a Flood Warning, the current watch will remain in effect until June 30th, at which time conditions will be reevaluated.
