Lake Level Outlook

This page provides predictive simulations for the water surface elevations of the Yahara Lakes (Mendota, Monona, Waubesa, and Kegonsa) based on upcoming meteorological trends. By integrating weather forecast inputs with the mass-balance equations established in our nowcast hydrologic models, the outlook simulates how each lake will respond over the coming days. This tool provides municipal officials, water resource managers, and the public critical insight to support regional flood mitigation decisions.
