| SMUD shared their release predictions for this coming week. In the following table, 'Inflow' is the anticipated average inflow to Chili Bar reservoir, while 'Release' is the required minimum release to the river per the license agreement:
| Day | Date | Inflow | Release
| | Tue | Sep 13 | 933 AF | No Recreational Flow
| | Wed | Sep 14 | 1076 AF | No Recreational Flow
| | Thu | Sep 15 | 2462 AF | 1500 cfs for 3 hours
| | Fri | Sep 16 | 1164 AF | 1500 cfs for 3 hours
| | Sat | Sep 17 | 1181 AF | 1500 cfs for 3 hours
| | Sun | Sep 18 | 562 AF | 1500 cfs for 3 hours
| | Mon | Sep 19 | 560 AF | No Recreational Flow
| | Tue | Sep 20 | 1135 AF | No Recreational Flow
|
Divide 'Inflow' by 2 to get an idea of the daily average in CFS, e.g. the proposed Saturday average inflow to Chili Bar reservoir is about 600 cfs. Expect fluctuations in flow below Chili Bar, sometimes big ones. Note that magnitude and timing of releases from Chili Bar reservoir don't necessarily co-incide with inflow, and in fact often Chili Bar releases water 'today' that was stored 'yesterday'. Nevertheless, the Inflow column can be used to guess whether more than the minimum will be released. Note also that the above is what SMUD predicts, based on their calculations ... depending on all sorts of factors (such as weather), the values show in the Inflow column could be more, or less. However, barring emergencies, you can confidently count on at least the minimum flows below Chili Bar shown in the Release column, and confirmed on the scheduled release page.

| Based on CDEC B120 reports, which are forecasts of Full Natural Flow, 2016 was originally designated as an Above Normal water year.
However, measurements of actual Full Natural Flow show that "Unimpaired Runoff" above Folsom Reservoir has been 2.59 MAF (million acre-feet). This is only a little less that the original forecasts, but still enough to change the water year type from Above Normal to Below Normal.
The significant difference is that weekend releases from November 1 onward will be 1300 cfs, instead of 1500 cfs.
The Below Normal designation is expected to remain in effect until around February 10, 2017.
The schedule until the end of February, 2017, based on the new "Below Normal" water year designation, has been updated and posted on the release schedule page.
