Hydrologic Outlook MNZ010>012-018-019-301500- Hydrologic Outlook National Weather Service Duluth MN 407 PM CDT Fri May 27 2022 ...MULTIPLE ROUNDS OF THUNDERSTORMS EXPECTED THIS WEEKEND INTO EARLY NEXT WEEK ACROSS THE RAINY RIVER BASIN... An active weather pattern is expected this weekend into early next week across northeast Minnesota, including the Rainy River Basin. Multiple rounds of thunderstorms are expected Saturday through potentially Tuesday. Basin average amounts of one to three inches are forecast. Higher rainfall amounts will occur where thunderstorms track multiple times over several days. However, predictability is low this far out of where the thunderstorms will track over multiple days over localized areas. This active weather pattern will cause additional inflows into and rises on already historically high Lake Kabetogama, Namakan Lake and Rainy Lake, and increased flows on tributaries across the Rainy River Basin. Furthermore, gusty and erratic winds from thunderstorms can result in increased wave action against flood protection measures. For more information see www.weather.gov/duluth.

is continuing to rise. Rainy Lake rose above the 2014 level May
23rd.
* WHERE...Rivers and lakes within the Rainy River Basin including

- At 303 PM CDT, Emergency management reported ongoing
flooding.
- Multiple rounds of thunderstorms are expected this weekend
into next week. Basin average rainfall amounts of one to
three inches are forecast. Locally higher amounts are
possible, but remain uncertain and will depend on where
thunderstorms track over multiple days.
Lake levels on Namakan Lake and Kabetogama Lake are expected
to rise an additional 2 to 5 inches between May 27 and June

Lake Levels on Namakan and Kabetogama may level off over the

end, Namakan Lake could continue to rise through next week
and approach the record level set in 1916 of 1122.8 ft
For Rainy Lake, a rise of 11 to 13 inches is expected between
May 27 and June 3, with continued rises through at least mid
June. At this rate, Rainy Lake is expected to break the all-
time record high level of 1112.95 ft set in 1950 sometime
next week.
Some locations that will experience flooding include Rainer,
Island View, Voyageurs National Park, Crane Lake and
Kabetogama Lake.

PRECAUTIONARY/PREPAREDNESS ACTIONS...
Use extreme caution if venturing our on these water bodies as many
hazards exist.
In addition to rising levels, any thunderstorms that produce strong
winds could cause larger waves on these lakes, which could further
cause damage on the shoreline.
Once levels have peaked, it will take a long time (weeks) for levels
to decline back to anything close to normal summer levels.
