Elevation Forecast

Big rains coming in and with lake close to all time highs, I'm curious as to what people are saying/believe it will do to the lake level by the next crest.  Looking for any and all thoughts... got to believe we are probably going to break the all time high this week.... thoughts?

Depends on how widespread the rain is.  Only an inch or two forecast locally.  But if areas to the north get alot, or areas south, including Beaver, we could see the lake rise again.   By the time the rain is forecast to start, the lake level should be around 931 or a bit lower.

Looking south from Springfield, the skies look nice. As of here not much so far. Lots of banging tho.

Heard they had 1/2 in Nixa. The James is back on the rise slowly. The Little Sac North of town is shooting up. Hopefully it just all goes away.

Raining pretty hard in Kimberling now. Impressive streak lightning too.

I've been watching one heck of a light show over the dam area. I thought the Chateau was having an unscheduled fireworks display for the past 20 minutes. Ketchup it is heading your way.

Praying for you all. My father and I are heading down on Saturday for the week for our 35th annual trip and while I am excited to get down there it is a bit subdued at the thought of what you all are going through. Sure, we have some roads closed up here in St. Louis, but you guys just keep taking a beating. We should have a nice break in weather for a few days starting Friday so I hope you guys can get out for a bit to try and enjoy it. The lake level is going nowhere for a while and bass should be moving towards the new bank if they haven't already. With the warm up coming it should prove interesting. 

Keeping you all in my thoughts and prayers.
