The current water level on Potholes Reservoir is 1,042.75 feet, coming up 0.7 feet this past week. We are 3.75 feet below full pool.
While Potholes Reservoir is still frozen over, it is beginning to thaw around the edges and there may be a few open spots in the middle. This week’s forecast is looking good to continue the thaw. Highs will be in the mid- to upper 40s and lows around freezing. A good wind will help tremendously.
No boat launches have open water and there are no reports of safe ice.
