Prior Lake Spring Lake Watershed District

PLSLWD logo

The District uses both volunteers and a weather station to track how much precipitation falls in the watershed.

Weather Station

The weather station is located at Spring Lake Townhall by Fish Lake.  To view the current or past weather data at this station, click here.  The City of Prior Lake also has a weather station located at the City of Prior Lake Maintenance Building (near Kwik Trip) which can be found here.

Forecasting Tools

The National Weather Service (NWS) created Precipitation Forecasting tool for our watershed. The tool shows the predicted precipitation for the watershed for the next seven days and is shown for 6 hour increments.

Hydrologic Conditions Report is prepared monthly by the Division of Ecological and Water Resources and provides general information concerning the various water resources across Minnesota. The report places current values of precipitation, stream flows, lake levels and ground water levels in historical context.  Click here to view or sign up for monthly reports.
