The DES gauge at the Weirs boardwalk shows ~1/2 inch below Full Pool. There is 1" of rain forecast this week by the end of this Sunday that should cause the lake level to go over the "Full" mark. That would be about 6 weeks earlier than the DES 40+ year mean reaches it around June 1st.
The Lakeport dam output is still at minimum, 250 CFS. Both Silver Lake and Winnisquam are at "normal" low levels so if we got a deluge of rain in the future, it could be dumped downstream without a significant problem. It seems we can let the level continue to go up for another few inches over Full without any major problems.
