Heavy rainfall has caused a considerable rise in water levels over the weekend.
The St. Clair Region Conservation Authority is now issuing a flood warning.
Many are reporting minor flooding through the area with a peak in water levels expected late Monday evening to early Tuesday morning.
Strong winds on Sunday caused back-flow in Wallaceburg with levels spilling over the banks. Winds are expected to slowly subside overnight and through the day Monday.
Residents along the Lake St. Clair shoreline may also experience wind-driven high water levels and wave action, with a potential for erosion.
The authority says several local roads may be impacted by water levels and should be avoided. They include:
- Otter Line in Wallaceburg
- Waterworks Road north of Courtright Line
- Stanley Line between Kimball Road and Waubuno Road
- Pretty Road north of McCallum Line
The flood warning is in effect until Tuesday, March 31st.
