Manitoba Lakes
Latest Update - May 12, 2013
- Ice is beginning to break up and melt on most of Manitoba’s large lakes. High winds can move broken or weakened ice around the lake, creating a risk of ice pile-up on windward shorelines. Residents are reminded to remain alert to weather conditions and to monitor news media for warnings.
- Strong and gusty southerly winds are forecasted to occur from this afternoon into tomorrow afternoon. This will result in a high risk of shoreline ice pile-up on the windward shores of Lake Manitoba, Dauphin Lake, Lake Winnipegosis, and Lake St. Martin. There is a moderate-high risk of shoreline ice pile-up on windward shores of Lake Winnipeg, and Pelican Lake.
- Lake Manitoba at Steep Rock remained at 812.2 ft (daily average level) and Lake Winnipeg was stable at 713.4 ft (wind eliminated level). The water level of other major lakes is reported in today’s Manitoba Lakes flood sheet.
