Consequence

Risk of storm water in urban areas, local flooding, stream bank erosion, changing waterways, shallow landslides at locations impacted by showers.

Advice

Cleaning of drainage paths and culverts is recommended.

Description

Water discharge is expected to increase because of rain and snowmelt. This may cause local inundation where river channels are filled with ice and because of frozen ground. It also may cause ice drift in streams, with subsequent local inundation. The ground is frozen and there is snow and ice on roads and rivers/creecks. Due to weather changes with snowmelt and rain up to 600 masl there might be local flooding and road problems caused by closed water ways. Floods in rivers are not expected.
