Ottawa River
The sunshine and low risk of rain this week are expected to help water levels along the Ottawa River.
The Ottawa River Regulation Planning Board says water levels remain 'close to or exceeding minor flood levels' along the main stem of the Ottawa River.
'With the forecast of sunny weather and little precipitation over much of the basin over the next few days, water levels and flows are expected to remain stable or to slowly decrease over the coming week,' the board said on Sunday.
Conservation authorities lifted the flood warning for the Lower Ottawa River from Arnprior to Hawkesbury on Friday.

Air quality alerts ease across much of Quebec and Ontario after days of haze
Environment Canada says air quality has improved across most of Quebec and Ontario as changes in wind and rain ease the situation east of the Prairies, where wildfires continue to rage. The federal department lifted alerts for most parts of both provinces Sunday after two days of poor air quality warnings and a haze that hung over cities including Toronto, Ottawa and Montreal.

Poor air quality continues to envelop the Prairie provinces this weekend, as swaths of six provinces and the Northwest Territories are experiencing poor air quality and reduced visibility due to forest fires. Environment Canada says a low pressure system passing through the Prairies and into Manitoba and northwestern Ontario by Monday is expected to bring rain to areas hit by the out-of-control blazes.

Canadian Armed Forces deployed to assist northwestern Ontario wildfire evacuations
Article content It said the province's northwest region had 26 active fires as of Saturday night, seven of which were out of control. Videos and photos on social media showed one fire approaching a construction site near Sandy Lake First Nation on Saturday, with multiple cargo containers catching on fire and crews reportedly escaping the blaze by sheltering in one of them. Manitoba-based construction company Sigfusson Northern confirmed their crew was safely evacuated after they were working on a job site near the First Nation. 'Our crews showed an extreme level of professionalism and courage in the face of a rapidly changing situation,' the company said in a social media post. Other provinces, including Manitoba and Saskatchewan, are also undergoing evacuation efforts in some areas due to wildfires. The wildfires have prompted air quality alerts in Ontario. Environment Canada warned that smoke is causing poor air quality and reduced visibility in areas including Sioux Lookout, Summer Beaver and Ear Falls. The weather agency added that some northeastern areas, including Timmins, Kapuskasing and Attawapiskat, are under a special air quality statement Sunday due to the smoke.
