The province has updated its spring flood outlook.

Most Manitoba rivers are at a low to moderate risk of flooding, with the Assiniboine main stem from Russell to Brandon and rivers in the Interlake region all being at moderate risk.

The Swan, Red, Saskatchewan, and Pembina rivers are among those that are at a low risk of flooding.

Manitoba's Hydrologic Forecast Centre also says most lakes in the province are expected to be within their desired operating ranges after spring runoff, with the risk of flooding on them being low. 

The centre adds the spring flood risk will largely be dependent on weather conditions from now until snowmelt is done, adding they are taking into consideration the weather system that is expected to bring 15-20 cm of snow to most parts of central and southern Manitoba later this week.
