The lake level seems to have peaked at 505 from the recent rains (the graph has "leveled" off). That's about 8 inches above "full pool". The current flow at Lakeport dam should drop Winnipesaukee about 6 inches in a week. There is no rain forecast for the next 8 days, highs in the 60's, a fair amount of sun, and some moderate wind = some evaporation. At the end of that forecast period, most of the excess should be gone, if none of the factors mentioned change very much.
