Manitoba spring runoff outlook raises flood risk in Red River basin
The Manitoba Flood Forecast Centre reports above normal precipitation since February raises spring flood potential, especially in the Red River Watershed where slight overbank flows are possible Emerson to Morris and Selkirk. Assiniboine and Souris rivers show lower yet notable risks, with minor overbank flows likely on some areas. Northern Manitoba expected to have average runoff under normal conditions, while overall forecast depends on snowmelt and spring rainfall.
