Fresh round of flood watches issued for region

Another dumping of rain means another flood watch.

The Ministry of Natural Resources and Forestry has put out a Provincial Flood Watch for the Pembroke and Bancroft regions as around 20 millimeters of rain is expected to fall by Friday. Combined with a still dense snowpack in central and eastern Ontario, this could lead to localized flooding in low lying areas.

The Ministry says residents should keep a close eye on weather conditions.
