SUMMARY

With “Abnormally Dry” conditions (Figure 5) covering most of the watershed and approximately 0.10” precipitation forecasted for the next 7 Days (Figure 4), inflows will be significantly lower over the next week (Figure 1) compared to last week. Fox Lake and areas upstream of the dam are forecasted to remain near 4.00’ (Figure 2). The Lower River should expect to see levels decrease as inflows continue dropping (Figure 3).
