Thanks to consistent rain throughout the state, lake levels have seen an increase when compared to the start of the summer season a year ago.
However, some lake levels on the west side of the state, a still slightly below average.
According to the Oklahoma Water Resources Board, Foss Lake Reservoir in western Custer County is reported to be between 80% – 89% capacity, which is two and a half feet below normal pool elevation. Lake Lugert in south west Oklahoma is 19 feet below normal pool elevation, while Lake Tom Steed is over 2 feet below normal elevation.
However the further east you go, lake levels appear normal – if not above level.
