\n\u00a0\u00a0 THE NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE IS PROVIDING MONTHLY UPDATES OF
\n\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 THE LONG-RANGE OUTLOOK FOR BOTH HIGH AND LOW WATER IN DEVILS
\n\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 AND STUMP LAKES. DEPENDING ON THE TIME OF YEAR…THE HIGH WATER
\n\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 OUTLOOK OR THE LOW WATER OUTLOOK MAY BE OMITTED DUE TO THE
\n\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 APPLICABILITY OF THE PROJECTION TYPE TO THE HYDROLOGIC

\n\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 PLEASE NOTE THAT THE VALID DATES FOR THE HIGH WATER VALES…AND
\n\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 THOSE OF THE LOW WATER VALUES WILL BE FOR DIFFERENT TIME PERIODS.
\n\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 THIS IS TO COVER BEST REPRESENT THOSE TIMES OF THE YEAR WHEN THE
\n\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 LAKE TYPICALLY RISES AND WHEN IT TYPICALLY FALLS…DEPENDING ON
\n\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 THE SEASON

\n\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 THIS MESSAGE AND ITS ASSOCIATED GRAPHICS AVAILABLE ON THE WEB AT:

DRIER THAN NORMAL RAINFALL IN THE DEVILS LAKE BASIN AND OUTLET
\n\u00a0PUMPING LED TO LESS THAN EXPECTED LAKE RISES LAST MONTH.
\n\u00a0PRECIPITATION DEFICITS RANGED FROM THREE QUARTERS OF AN INCH IN
\n\u00a0THE NORTHERN DEVILS LAKE BASIN TO AROUND 3 INCHES IN THE SOUTH.
\n\u00a0
\n\u00a0LATE SUMMER IS THE TIME OF THE YEAR WHEN THE LAKE LEVELS ACROSS THE
\n\u00a0DEVILS LAKE BASIN TYPICALLY START TO DROP DUE TO THE EFFECTS OF
\n\u00a0SEASONAL EVAPORATION OFF THE LAKE SURFACE EXCEEDING THE EFFECTS OF
\n\u00a0RAINFALL AND RUNOFF. ADDITIONALLY…AS THE WATER LEVELS IN THE
\n\u00a0SHEYENNE RIVER HAVE DROPPED…THE STATE OUTLETS HAVE CONTINUED
\n\u00a0THEIR PUMPING OPERATIONS. BOTH OF THESE EFFECTS ARE REFLECTED IN
\n\u00a0THESE LATEST PROBABILISTIC OUTLOOKS FOR DEVILS LAKE AND STUMP LAKE.
\n\u00a0
\n\u00a0AT THE TIME THESE OUTLOOKS WERE PREPARED…DEVILS LAKE WAS VERY
\n\u00a0NEAR AN ELEVATION OF 1453.6 FEET…WITH A 10% EXPECTATION THAT THE
\n\u00a0LAKE COULD RISE A TENTH OF A FOOT BEFORE THE END OF OCTOBER. ON
\n\u00a0THE OTHER HAND…THERE IS A 10% EXPECTATION THAT THE LAKE COULD
\n\u00a0DROP TO 1451.8 FEET AFTER SEPTEMBER 1ST AND BEFORE THE END OF
\n\u00a0NOVEMBER. BASED ON THE CLIMATE OUTLOOK THROUGH THE LATE SUMMER AND
\n\u00a0EARLY FALL…THE MOST LIKELY SCENARIO IS THAT DEVILS LAKE WILL
\n\u00a0CONTINUE A VERY SLOW FALL THE NEXT FEW MONTHS.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
