Forecast for 2020-04-08

River conditions forecasts posted on 2020-04-08 by Ottawa River Regulation Planning Board

With recent warming temperatures, the spring thaw continues and is causing water levels and flows on the Ottawa River to increase from Mattawa down to the Montreal region.  Increases in flows and levels are expected to continue over the next few days and may cause minor flooding in low-lying areas.  Low-lying areas are those that are flooded regularly during the spring freshet period.
