Flooding

Lake Levels & Weather Outlook

As of Thursday morning, Sept. 6, Lake Monona is at a new record high of 848.53 inches, two inches higher than yesterday, and ten inches higher than the 100-year flood level. Lake Monona is expected to crest today, and dry weather is predicted for the coming days; however, we are not in the clear. Flooding remains an ongoing risk as long as lake levels remain this high. Once again, do not remove sandbags, and continue to be on alert.
