| Update from SCE 6/3/2024 Current Flows: ~2800 cfs (at Station 125S. Note that Willow Creek is also contributing additional flows into the reach beyond the SCE stream gage point where flows are reported.) Over the weekend flows peaked 5/31 mid-day just below 3500 cfs and on Sat/Sun were trending between 3200-3000 cfs range. We expect this heat wave to increase flows back up to ~3000 cfs very near-term. These flows will likely remain for the week, and SCE will resume the ramp down once flows drop back into the Step 7 flow range (estimated to occur over the weekend). Weekly Forecast: Projected Dates of Boating Opportunities 6/3/2024 Water Year Type: Spill Year - Spill Year Schedule D Down ramping started: May 23rd Projected Boating Opportunity dates: (Boatable Flow Range is 3500-1600 cfs; shown in blue text below.) NOTE: the forecasted dates are subject to change based on weather conditions, inflows, temperatures, etc. Date* Step/Day Dam 7 Spill Range (cfs) Status 5/23/2024 1 3500-3000 Boatable flow range Complete 5/24/2024 2 3000-2500 Boatable flow range Complete 5/25/2024 3 2500-2000 Boatable flow range Complete 5/26/2024 4 2500-2000 Boatable flow range Complete 5/27/2024 5 2500-2000 Boatable flow range Complete 5/28/2024 6 2500-2000 Boatable flow range Complete 5/29/2024 7 2500-2000 Boatable flow range Complete 5/30/2024 7+1 2500-2000 Boatable flow range Step 7 in progress 5/31/2024 7+2 Flows increased above current step: 2800-3500 Boatable flow range Step 7 in progress 6/1/2024 7+3 Boatable flow range Step 7 in progress 6/2/2024 7+4 Boatable flow range Step 7 in progress 6/3/2024 7+5 Boatable flow range Step 7 in progress 6/4/2024 7+6 Boatable flow range forecasted 6/5/2024 7+7 Boatable flow range forecasted 6/6/2024 7+8 Boatable flow range forecasted 6/7/2024 7+9 Boatable flow range forecasted 6/8/2024 8 2000-1600 Boatable flow range forecasted 6/9/2024 9 2000-1600 Boatable flow range forecasted 6/10/2024 10 1600-1300 6/11/2024 11 1600-1300 6/12/2024 12 1300-1000 6/13/2024 13 1300-1000 6/14/2024 14 1000-750 6/15/2024 15 1000-750 6/16/2024 16 750-500 6/17/2024 17 750-500 6/18/2024 18 500-250 6/19/2024 19 500-250 6/20/2024 20 250-100 6/21/2024 21 MIF ________________________________ Paul Martzen Fresno, CA
