Bottom Line:
- The overnight rain in the Cedar Creek and Richland-Chambers watersheds was relatively light and will not have much additional impact on these lakes. See Graphic-1 for a map of rain totals.
- Cedar Creek is nearing its peak elevation for this event, which is in the ballpark of 322.3 ft-msl.
- Richland-Chambers continues to rise and has potential to fill tomorrow afternoon.
- The next rain chance comes tomorrow with the arrival of a cold front that is expected to bring 0.5 to 1 inch of rain to the Bridgeport and Eagle Mountain area. See Graphic-2 for NWS Guidance.
Flood discharges are on-going at Cedar Creek and will continue as the level is brought back to conservation pool (el. 322.0). TRWD staff will continue to monitor watershed conditions and evaluate spillway operations at the TRWD lakes.
