LAKE ONTARIO REACHING PEAK, OUTFLOWS INCREASED RAPIDLY - Lake Ontario water levels have started to stabilize due to decreased precipitation and increased Lake Ontario outflows, which have been increasing rapidly as Ottawa River flows have continued to drop from their record highs this spring.
LAKE ONTARIO REACHES RECORD, BOARD CONTINUES TO RESPOND - Lake Ontario has reached 75.90 m (249.02 ft), exceeding the record peak of 75.88 m (248.95 ft) set in 2017, and will continue rising gradually over the next several days, but is expected to reach this year’s peak within one to three weeks.
