So far, spring runoff levels are expected to be average for much of the province.

On Friday the Water Security Agency (WSA) released the preliminary spring runoff outlook for 2020.

Despite below normal snowfall accumulations in the southern part of the province, near normall snowmelt runoff is expected due to the wet fall weather.

Although wet conditions at freeze-up increase the runoff potential during the spring melt, it does not guarantee that a flood will occur.

Precipitation amounts are predicted to be near normal across the province for February, March, and April.

The WSA notes the spring runoff outlook could change, as there is could be several more weeks of winter weather still to come.

The first spring runoff forecast will be issued in March.
