Precipitation in July has been nearly 300% of normal. The streamflow forecast for this week (subject to change) estimates that the lake will remain in the top 12 inches through most of 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.

The water supply forecasts did not change much this week. Impacts to the lower river fishery and electricity production from reduced project outflows mid-June to mid-July will be offset in the last half of July and August with the shift of water volume in the lower river.
