Ontario's Ministry of Natural Resources and Forestry is warning of potential flooding in the region.
A Flood Watch has been issued for the Chapleau Wawa District area, warning residents to "keep a close watch on conditions and exercise caution around rivers and streams", as Ontario's northeast and northwest are expected to see mixed precipitation or snow, with Wawa expected to get 30 to 40 millimetres of rain by "end of week from Thursday to Monday" while Chapleau's expected to get the same amount "by end of week from Saturday to Monday".
