It alert was issued today (May 2, 2023) and is in effect until May 9, unless it is updated before then.

"Over the next 24 hours low-lying areas may experience nuisance flooding. No residences are expected to be impacted at this point in time. Everyone living in or near a flood hazard area is encouraged to monitor the conditions that are developing and to take the appropriate actions to protect their property."
