Flood Watch

Thunder Bay - Ignace District
Thursday, April 23, 2026
12:00hrs

The Ministry of Natural Resources– Thunder Bay - Ignace District is advising area residents that a Flood Watch is in effect in the District until Saturday, April 25, 2026 at 08:00hrs.
Residents in Ignace, Upsala, Raith, Kashabowie, Shebandowan, Armstrong, Thunder Bay and surrounding areas throughout the Thunder Bay Ignace District should keep a close watch on upcoming weather forecasts and local water conditions. Residents should also exercise caution around less traveled roads, lakes, rivers and areas of high potential run-off. There is a risk of high flows in low-lying areas as well as unstable ice and cold, fast flowing water. In the northern area of the district where evening temperatures may drop below freezing, slippery surfaces and freezing rain or snow might also be a risk.
The ministry is closely monitoring the weather and developing watershed conditions. Further updates will be issued as appropriate.
