While local conditions remain stable, the Hamilton Conservation Authority issued a flood watch for Lake Ontario shoreline areas on April 24, 2026, due to a predicted storm surge. Water levels in Lake Ontario are currently 13 inches above the long-term average for April and are expected to rise an additional 3 inches by May 24, 2026, based on data from the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers.
Despite the broader concerns regarding lake levels, Conservation Halton reports that the flood status for local rivers and streams remains normal. Two storm systems are forecast to move through the Great Lakes basin over the weekend and into the early part of next week, which may bring further precipitation to the region.
