The average lake level rose by 8 cm (3 in) over the past week. The lake level has risen above the 2014 peak of 323.78 m (1062.29 ft) and is below the record peak since regulation began of 324.31 m (1064.0 ft), set in July of 1950. The dams in Kenora remain fully open and no additional actions can be taken to limit lake level rise.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The level of Lake of the Woods is expected to rise by approximately 6-10 cm (2-4 in) over the next 7 days, depending on the rainfall received across the region. Should weather be favourable, a peak may be reached by mid-June followed by a gradual drop. However, a return to normal summer levels will likely take many weeks and will be delayed should there be a return to wet weather.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>As the lake continues to rise, the outflow from the lake will very gradually rise. This should result in the level of the&nbsp;<a href=\"http:\/\/lwcb.ca\/pdf\/WinnipegRiverOntario.pdf\">Winnipeg River<\/a>&nbsp;between Kenora and Minaki also gradually rising, with any local precipitation adding temporarily to levels in this stretch of the river. The level rise over the next 7 days below Norman Dam and down to Minaki is expected to be 1-2 cm (1 in).&nbsp; Outflow from the Whitedog dam is expected to increase very gradually as it passes the water coming from the Norman dam, plus any local inflows.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The current level of&nbsp;<a href=\"http:\/\/lwcb.ca\/pdf\/LacSeul.pdf\">Lac Seul<\/a>&nbsp;is 356.78 m (1170.5 ft), over 95th percentile level for this time of year. Lac Seul inflow remains very high, resulting in a rise of 12 cm (5 in) over the past week. Lac Seul authorized outflow is 800 m\u00b3\/s with no changes currently scheduled.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The main body of Lac Seul is expected to rise by 2-6 cm (1-2 in) over the next 7 days with the rate of rise continuing to slow if drier weather persists through the forecast period.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Flows and levels on the English River downstream of Lac Seul are expected to remain steady or continue declining as local tributaries have been declining over the past week.&nbsp; The level of the English River at&nbsp;<a href=\"http:\/\/www.lwcb.ca\/pdf\/GrassyNarrows.pdf\">Grassy Narrows<\/a>&nbsp; is expected to continue dropping over the coming week if the drier weather persists through the forecast period.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The level of the Winnipeg River at&nbsp;<a href=\"http:\/\/www.lwcb.ca\/pdf\/WhitedogFallsBoundaryFalls.pdf\">Boundary Falls<\/a>&nbsp; is expected to continue dropping over the coming week if the drier weather persists through the forecast period.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The current level of&nbsp;Lake of the Woods&nbsp;is 323.99 m (1063.0 ft), over 95th percentile level for this time of year.
