"What’s Comin’ Down River” Flow Report
Posted on Jan 4th, 2019
- Jan 3rd - FOR's Backyard River Hydrologist (mostly reliable and sometimes scientific observation)
The NWS radar rainfall summary shows the average rainfall in the watershed yesterday and last night was only 1 to 1-1/2" but the ground is so saturated that it appears every bit of it became runoff. The gauge at Hwy 35 has risen 4ft since yesterday morning. The forecast is for it to level off now and begin falling tomorrow. Folks at FM 521 and below should be seeing maximum levels now or very soon.
Note that the gauge at Boling (NOAA link at bottom) doesn't appear to be functioning, but the NWS is still showing a forecast on that hydrograph based on info from the upstream gauges.
