Risks

Rainfall is likely to produce higher water levels and possible nuisance flooding in low-lying areas across the jurisdiction.

Action

Residents are advised to exercise caution when near rivers as the forecasted weather may rapidly increase river flows and cause slippery riverbanks. Parents are encouraged to explain these dangers to their children.
