A flood warning was lifted on Monday for the Grand River watershed.

The Grand River Conservation Authority had issued a flood warning for Ayr and New Hamburg on the weekend due to a spell of warmer conditions.

The weather resulted in melting snow and ice, leading to increased river flows.

The Township of North Dumfries announced just after 9 a.m. on Saturday that Tannery Street in downtown Ayr was closed due to the flooding.

Exercise caution around all local waterways and ponds. Banks adjacent to rivers, ponds and creeks are very slippery and, when combined with fast-moving water, pose a serious hazard. Pictured here is the Nith River flood waters approaching Tannery Street in downtown Ayr. pic.twitter.com/1uVXaLIS4O
