Credit Valley Conservation has issued a Flood Watch for the areas of the Credit River Watershed in Peel and Halton Regions as well as Wellington and Dufferin Counties. Credit Valley Conservation is advising that Environment and Climate Change Canada and the Ministry of Natural Resources and Forestry's Surface Water Monitoring Centre are forecasting warmer conditions, with temperatures expected to reach 12 -17 degrees Celsius today, Saturday, March 7, 2026. There is a weather system moving through the watershed expected to bring in 15-25mm of rain throughout this afternoon and into the evening, with possible thunderstorms. The forecasted rain and warmer temperatures today will further melt the snowpack. The snowpack throughout the Credit River Watershed is actively melting, and still contains a significant snow water equivalent, ranging from approximately 100 mm in the upper watershed to 50 mm in the lower watershed. Combined with frozen ground conditions and the expected rainfall, this may cause flooding along the Credit River and its major tributaries. Water levels in the rivers and creeks are actively increasing and may reach their banks. River ice continues to decay. The river ice in the upper reaches of the watershed continues to break apart, with forecasts indicating this trend will persist over the next few days. This is not expected to result in ice jam flooding. As snow and ice melt continue, the saturated ground and local streams and rivers may become icy and hazardous, particularly near culverts, bridges, and dams. Children should be warned to stay away from all water courses. CVC will continue to closely monitor weather and water levels in the watershed. The Watershed Conditions Statement for Flood Watch will be in effect through Monday Mar-9-2026 or until further notice.
