The Manitoba Government has put out their March Flood Outlook and despite large amounts of snow this winter, lakes around the Parkland aren't expected to flood. Dauphin Lake is expected to have the highest rise above normal for this time of year, with around 2 extra feet expected after spring runoff.
Lake Manitoba is currently sitting 1.41 feet below normal for this time of year, but after spring runoff is expected to be right in the middle of its operating range. Lake Winnipegosis is less than a foot under its normal for this time of year and is expected to be sitting just below its normal level after the runoff.
These numbers are better than expected due to the slow start to this spring's melt, however, they could still change. The numbers the government put out are based on average precipitation, and an above-average amount of rain this spring could change the outlook.
