In the latest observations from Iowa, various dams and reservoirs are reporting water levels that are close to their average measurements, indicating stable conditions for most, but with some noteworthy deviations. Clear Lake at Clear Lake and Black Hawk Lake at Lake View are reporting gage heights just slightly below average at 4 feet and 7 feet respectively, compared to their averages of 4.51 feet and 7.13 feet. Lake Panorama at Panora and Spirit Lake near Orleans are also quite close to their average levels, with current gage heights at 45 feet and 14 feet, just marginally lower than their averages of 45.43 feet and 14.03 feet. West Okoboji Lake at Lakeside Lab near Milford is currently at 3 feet, slightly lower than its average of 4.17 feet. Corydon Lake is experiencing higher than average streamflow, registering at 5 cubic feet per second, which is significantly above its average of 1.96 cubic feet per second. Finally, Rathbun Lake near Rathbun is currently at a gage height of 903 feet, somewhat below its average of 906.54 feet.

The anomalies in water levels at Corydon Lake and Rathbun Lake could potentially be related to specific local factors not detailed in the provided data, such as recent precipitation patterns or water management decisions. While the provided sources do not directly mention water levels or abnormal conditions at these reservoirs, they do provide context in terms of regional weather and environmental conditions. For instance, the absence of significant precipitation mentioned in the Mix 107.3 KIOW report could help explain the marginal decrease in water levels at some reservoirs. The increased streamflow at Corydon Lake, however, could be due to local factors not represented in these sources and would require further investigation. Overall, most Iowa reservoirs are holding steady at their average levels, with a few exceptions that warrant monitoring for changes that could affect local ecosystems and water management practices.
