A "Flood Watch" continues for the Lake Nipissing shoreline in North Bay and Callander.
A Flood Watch on the lower reaches of the Mattawa River has ended but a "Flood Outlook" remains in effect for other areas of the North Bay-Mattawa watershed, including the Mattawa River below Hurdman Dam, according to the North Bay-Mattawa Conservation Authority.
Landscape conditions with dormant vegetation and saturated soils have limited capacity to store additional moisture. Local rivers may respond rapidly to precipitation.
Easterly winds have caused water level fluctuations in North Bay as the water is pushed to the west. As the winds change direction becoming southwesterly or westerly today, the water in Lake Nipissing will be pushed back towards the east.
