A flood watch has been issued for the Assiniboine River from Shellmouth to Brandon. 

The province's Hydrologic Forecast Centre says spring runoff in continuing in Western, Central and Northern Manitoba thanks to continued snow melt due to recent warm temperatures. 

The flood watch remains in effect on the Assiniboine River until the end of next week.

Manitobans are reminded to stay off waterways, including creeks, streams and rivers, as high flows, debris and cold water temperatures present a significant safety risk.

Members of the public are also asked to keep away from flooded areas, water control structures including dams and diversions, and areas where flood response crews are working.
