2026.04.30 Level Forecast<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Above\u2011normal precipitation concentrated on the eastern side of the Winnipeg River Basin occurred over the past seven days. Tributary flows and lake inflows in the Upper English River and the headwaters of the Rainy-Namakan basins have increased in response to this precipitation. Lac Seul refill has begun, and the level is rising rapidly with snowmelt. For Lake of the Woods, inflows have remained relatively stable, and the lake level continues to rise. Current forecasts indicate dry conditions over the coming week; however, Lake of the Woods inflows could rise as upstream basins respond to the recent precipitation. Basin conditions will be closely monitored to assess whether outflow adjustments may be necessary if higher\u2011than\u2011anticipated precipitation develops.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
The current level of Lake of the Woods is 322.59 m (1058.4 ft), a 40th<\/sup> percentile level, within the normal range for this time of year. The average lake level increased by 5.5 cm (2.2 in) over the past week and is expected to increase by 5 to 6.5 cm (2 to 2.6 in) over the next week. Lake of the Woods authorized outflow is 225 m3<\/sup>\/s, with no changes scheduled at this time.<\/p>\n\n\n\n The current level of Lac Seul is 354.78 m (1164.0 ft), a 25th<\/sup> percentile level, within the normal range for this time of year.
