After another winter storm last week, and before even more rain in the forecast tonight and tomorrow, how are the water levels in the province?
Water levels have risen over the last month, but are still following the trends that the March Flood Outlook set at that time.
Dauphin Lake has risen just 0.31 ft. since March 22nd and is sitting at 855.01 ft. as of yesterday, slightly above its operating range. The lake is still just under three feet below its flood stage.
Lake Winnipegosis is sitting at 830.56 ft., which is 0.06 ft. higher than it was on March 22nd. The lake is still below it's median level for this time of year.
Lake Manitoba has also risen 0.07 ft. since March 22nd. As of yesterday, the average lake level was 811.67 ft., which is close to the middle of its operating range and is expected to remain within that range.
