Hi Folks,

 

The cool temperatures and cloud cover has arrived as forecasted, greatly reducing snowmelt. Spill at Eleanor has greatly reduced over the past few days and releases from Hetch Hetchy continue to ramp down. With the upcoming holiday weekend, we wanted to provide an early update on the forecasted releases from the project. Please find the table below and add your estimate of additional accretions.

 

The National Weather Service has chance of showers over the next few days and extends a chance of thunderstorms in the high country into the weekend. We know these events can be highly localized but can increase flows quickly. Fortunately for those on the river, the chance of snow showers is only in the high country.

 

Enjoy the holiday weekend!
