A flood outlook has been issued for our area.
The Ministry of Northern Development, Mines, Natural Resources and Forestry released the statement on Friday, (March 4) and is in effect until Monday.
The statement says residents in our area should keep a close watch on conditions and exercise caution around rivers and streams, as the forecasted precipitation over the weekend could cause flooding in low-lying areas.
The ministry is closely monitoring the weather and developing watershed conditions. Further updates will be issued when deemed appropriate.
The ministry says a Colorado low-pressure system will move through the northeast corridor of the province over the weekend bringing snow, freezing rain, ice pellets and rain to the North Bay district.
