| 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).
