The forecast
is still uncertain as rivers are choked with ice and flow data is
not available this early in the runoff period. However based on
trend and the stage at which ice usually begins to move, it appears
that the crest stage at the Pas could occur by this weekend and
possibly a little earlier. Levels should decline when the ice moves
out. There could be a crest later without ice but there is a good
chance it could be lower than the first crest with ice.
Crests and
crest dates for the Carrot River upstream from Mile 9 will be added
when more information on conditions in Saskatchewan becomes
available.
Manitoba Water
Stewardship staff will be setting up a gauge at Bracken Dam in the
near future.
