The following statement was issued by Quinte Conservation
Forecasted high winds and waves may cause water to overtop low lying Lake Ontario and Bay of Quinte shorelines in the Quinte Watershed on Monday. Lake Ontario and Bay of Quinte water levels continue their seasonal rise. Peak water levels are expected to increase above the high-water indicator of 75.3 metres within the next month. Water levels are forecasted to be well below the flood levels of 2017 and 2019.
During periods of high wind and waves, residents along Lake Ontario and the Bay of Quinte should take the necessary precautions to secure any loose articles along their shoreline to prevent loss and damage.
A SHORELINE CONDITIONS STATEMENT indicates a flood outlook (an early notice of the potential for flooding on the Great Lakes based on weather and lake conditions) and water safety information.
