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.
