Summary

The current forecast shows the recent rainfall had little impact to overall inflows (Figure 1). It appears that the heaviest rain was limited to the Chain of Lakes area, with lower amounts further upstream. Currently the watershed is forecasted to receive 0.2” of rain over the next 7 days. Water levels are predicted to continue dropping until they reach scheduled transition levels (Figures 2 & 3).
