Saint John River Flooding in New Brunswick Update 8
River Watch 2008 / Water level bulletin (08/05/15)
NB 731
May 15, 2008
FREDERICTON (CNB) - River Watch 2008 and the Department of Public Safety's New Brunswick Emergency Measures Organization are cancelling all flood watches today, Thursday, May 15, 2008.
The weather forecast for the next couple of days is fair; as a result, the decreasing water levels will continue, although water levels may fluctuate in response to tidal influences.
Water flows and levels are now low enough that it would take a very major rainfall event to reverse this trend in a significant way. Therefore, daily River Watch bulletins will be suspended until weather or river conditions warrant further updates.
As of 12 noon today, the water level in Jemseg was 4.17, which is below the flood stage of 4.3.
The River Watch 2008 staff will continue to monitor conditions, and bulletins will be issued as required.
