Local Flooding Possible

The possibility of flooding here in the lower reaches of the Saint John River remains very real heading into the weekend.


The provincial flood forecast centre is predicting the water level in the Oak Point area will hit 4.2-metres by Sunday -- that's just a hair below the 4.7-metre flood stage in that area.

The river level here in the Saint John area is expected to hit the 3.8-metre mark by Sunday -- again just below the flood level of 4.2-metres.

People in these areas are being advised to take the necessary precautions and to keep a close watch on water levels.
