Prolonged hot and dry forecasts continue to decrease the streamflow runoff forecasts for the Flathead Basin significantly. The lake was as full as allowed for flood risk management on May 26 and then the project ramped down to required minimum outflows to fill the lake as much as possible with the remaining runoff streamflows. This week’s expected inflow forecast would slowly fill the lake to 2891.9 feet before the inflows go below the minimum outflow requirement which will cause the lake levels to decrease. The lake may lower an additional foot to be nearly 2 feet below full pool by 4th of July weekend and potentially 3 feet below full pool in August.
SKQ project outflows and the Flathead Lake elevation are dependent on many variables including lake inflows, weather, the demand for electricity, and non-power constraints such as the downstream fishery and flood risk management needs.
