The storm forced the City of Barrie to close soccer fields and knocked out power to thousands of residents in Orillia.
The Nottawasaga Valley Conservation Authority upgraded its Flood Outlook Statement to a Flood Watch, noting the watershed received 62 to 107 mm of rain over the last 48 hours.
Still, officials don't believe widespread flooding is a concern but did say low-lying and flood-prone areas could be impacted.
The public is urged to exercise caution around all rivers and streams.
The Flood Watch is in effect until Friday at 4 p.m.
