Forecast for 2024-08-08

River conditions forecasts posted on 2024-08-08 by Ottawa River Regulating Committee

Levels and flows are near normal for this time of year in most locations along the main stem of the Ottawa River. Heavy rainfall forecasted in parts of the basin over the coming days could increase water levels and flows in some locations, with the possibility of rapid increases if heavy downpours occur. No flooding is expected along the main stem of the Ottawa River and levels and flows are expected to decline following the rain. Please note that weather forecasts can be wrong. Heavier than forecast rainfalls can occur with very little advance warning, and can result in rapid changes to water levels and flows.
