April 14, 2023 MISSISSIPPI AND CARP RIVER WATERSHEDS—Flood Warning is still in effect for Dalhousie Lake and the Clyde River. As the remainder of the snowpack enters the watershed, levels will remain high but are not expected to increase significantly.
Dalhousie Lake - Levels have been fairly stable over the last week but remain high. Levels are expected to decrease as upstream flows start to decline over the weekend.
Clyde River- The melt of the remaining snow has increased levels again in this river. Flows are expected to slow and peak over the weekend.
Mississippi Lake and Lower Mississippi River- Levels on the lake and river remain stable and are expected to remain high until the upper watershed peaks. Levels should start to slowly decline next week.
Flows within the Fall, Indian and Carp Rivers have peaked and are expected to continue to trend downward.
Parents are encouraged to remind their children about hypothermia and the dangers of playing near fast flowing water.
This Watershed Conditions Statement is in effect until the end of the day on Wednesday, April 19, 2023 and will be updated at that time unless the forecasts change.
