The forecasted strong winds on Saturday could also cause water levels in flooded areas of the Red River Valley to rise by up to a foot in some areas. Wave action could also add to the temporary increase in water levels and could result in temporary overtopping of roads.
A flood warning remains for the Red River from Emerson to the Red River Floodway inlet, and from the outlet to Lake Winnipeg. A flood warning remains for the following Red River tributaries: Shannon and Netley Creeks, as well as the Morris, and Little Morris Rivers. The remaining Red River tributaries remain under a Flood Watch.
