Winnipesaukee and Silver Lake are now down to normal Spring "full" levels. Winnisquam is still about 6" high but with the Lakeport dam shut down to 1000 CFS it should continue to drop. The Winnisquam output has been cut as well.
We are expected to get about an inch of rain Saturday but no other rain is forecast for the next week or so. The runoff should be less because we have had almost 2 weeks of dry weather and the snow melt is done. Most rain will probably soak into the ground.
The lake levels are looking good for Memorial Day weekend and beyond unless we get another BIG, BIG multi day rainfall event.
