WICHITA FALLS, Texas (KAUZ) - Area lake levels have once again fallen according to the City of Wichita Falls.

Although the weekend saw a handful of storms move through the area, the combined level of Lake Arrowhead and Lake Kickapoo fell by half a percent to 66.6%.

Arrowhead now sits at 67% capacity, while Kickapoo is at 65.8%.

The typical trigger to enter stage one drought restrictions in Wichita Falls is 65%, but the city has been under the restrictions for months. Only a city council resolution can lift the drought restriction measures.

Warming temperatures and increasing temperatures could continue to deplete lake levels without additional rainfall.
