Bottom Line: Cedar Creek Reservoir has received over 4 inches of rain since yesterday morning, see map below. The pool level is on the rise and should reach conservation level (elv. 322.0) by tomorrow morning. Reservoir staff will be monitoring conditions and will operate the spillway to safely pass the excess flood water. Richland-Chambers also received a good amount of rain but is not expected to fill in the immediate future. This has a better chance of happening later this week/weekend.
Overnight rain is expected to stay south of the area, see Graphic-2 for NWS Guidance. Staff will continue to monitor reservoir conditions and for the possibility tonight’s rain sets up further north than expected.
Current TRWD lake conditions are shown below. Updates regarding flood discharges from TRWD lakes will be posted here. Additional updates regarding lake conditions will be provided as conditions dictate. Be sure to subscribe to receive e-mail notification of any new Lake Level Blog posts.
