Flooding is not expected but more rain and warmer temperatures will cause local creeks and rivers to rise
Flooding is not expected in the wider Sudbury area, but warmer temperatures are likely to speed up the snowmelt in and around the city.
"A significant low-pressure system is forecast to bring 20-35 millimetres of mixed precipitation in the next couple of days followed by above-freezing daytime temperatures," said the statement. All watersheds within the City of Greater Sudbury still have a significant snowpack that holds anywhere between 100 and 150 mm of water content, the statement continued."Public safety is the No. 1 priority, especially for children who may be attracted to the edge of creeks or rivers. The cold, fast-flowing water must be avoided. Stream banks will be very slippery and unsafe, and must be avoided.
