Rainy Like to Return to 2014 high-level this Week

Rainy Lake continues to drop.

It is now sitting about eleven centimetres from its 2014 high-water mark.

Forecasters expect it to reach that mark later this week.

The lake has been falling by about 4 centimetres or 1.5 inches each day for the past few days.

It has fallen almost 30 centimetres since peaking on June 15.

Meantime, Lake of the Woods appears to have reached its peak.

The Lake of the Woods Control Board says its level could remain higher than normal well into September under dry weather conditions, as far as late October with a wetter than usual summer.

Namakan Lake is well below its 2014 high-water mark.

Both Namakan and Kabetogama have dropped almost one metre since peaking on June 1.
