Grey Sauble Conservation Authority issues watershed conditions statement

In advance of weather conditions expected this week, Grey Sauble Conservation Authority (GSCA) issued the following watershed conditions statement:

On Wednesday, a low-pressure system is forecast to move across the Great Lakes region. Strong west winds are expected to develop early Wednesday morning and are forecasted to peak overnight and into Thursday morning. Maximum sustained wind speeds of 40-50 km per hour with gusts up to 80 km per hour are expected. Offshore waves may exceed 3 m in height. 

Fortunately, water levels for Lake Huron have returned to near average conditions but there may still be a risk of shoreline erosion and near-shore flooding. The areas most affected within the Grey Sauble Watershed will be the western shorelines along Lake Huron.

This message will remain in effect until 12:00 pm on Friday December 2, unless local conditions warrant further updates. The Grey Sauble Conservation Authority (GSCA) will continue to monitor conditions and will provide an update if required.

At South Grey News, we endeavour to bring you truthful and factual, up-to-date local community news in a quick and easy-to-digest format that’s free of political bias. We believe this service is more important today than ever before, as social media has given rise to misinformation, largely unchecked by big corporations who put profits ahead of their responsibilities.

South Grey News does not have the resources of a big corporation. We are a small, locally owned-and-operated organization. Research, analysis and physical attendance at public meetings and community events requires considerable effort. But contributions from readers and advertisers, however big or small, go a long way to helping us deliver positive, open and honest journalism for this community.
