Forecast for 2025-03-04

Water levels and flows on the main stem of the Ottawa River are close to seasonal values. Due to the weather conditions forecast for the next few days, with temperatures rising above 0°C and precipitation falling partly as rain in the sourthern part of the basin, flows and water levels are expected to increase slightly over the next few days between Lake Deschenes and the Carillon dam. Upstream of Lake Deschenes, river conditions should remain fairly stable over the coming week. We are closely monitoring river conditions and will update this message, if necessary, on Friday March 7.
