Big water releases coming this week/weekend so my boat will stay in the garage while I pull out the mower and cut my jungle. Mother’s Day on the golf course with my wifey.
Good luck and safe travels!

If we actually get the amount rain forecasted for the next few days, there will be another big water release coming. The question is whether the ACE will hold back water over the holiday or keep it at a safer level thru Monday……we shall see soon enough.

It looks like we are going to stay around 4100 cfs for the next few days, weather permitting. Let’s hope the storms (later this week) fizzle out.

Looking like we are going to be running high again for a few more days.

Just when the discharge levels get down in the normal range, 3 days of thunderstorms are on the way. Let’s hope it doesn’t come true!

Expect a bump in the discharge levels within a couple of days. We had some good rain events this week!

Discharge levels staying put and then dropping soon as long as the rain stays away.

Feast or Famine!
It looks like the river discharge forecast is going to be pretty low over the holiday…..1300cfs.
At that level, there are very few boats that can navigate the entire 8.6 miles between the dam and Warren.
BE CAREFUL OUT THERE.
Happy 4th and your Independence!

The Corps has been discharging some very low numbers. 1180 cfs is very low and can make even jet-boating the upper river section a dangerous proposition.
Be careful out there!
