TRWD continues to monitor reservoir conditions 24 hours a day. Current reservoir conditions are provided below. Currently, spillway gates are closed at all TRWD reservoirs. However, there is a small discharge at the Eagle Mountain overflow spillway that will continue until the pool level falls below elevation 649.1 ft-msl. Updates to flood discharges will be posted here.
All TRWD lakes (including Marine Creek), trail systems and parks remain open to the public and available for normal recreational activities. However, visitors are subject to all rules, regulations and guidance issued for each specific location either federal, state or local during this period of National Emergency. Please click here to see an important notice about new Eagle Mountain Park hours.
Overnight rainfall in the TRWD watersheds can be seen in Graphic-1. Rain moved from the northwest to southeast in the early morning hours and is clearing from the Cedar Creek and Richland-Chambers watersheds. The rest of the day is expected to be clear. Storms return this evening, see National Weather Service (NWS) guidance in Graphic-2. Be weather aware this evening as these storms are expected to be severe. Please continue to follow the NWS and the River Forecast Center (RFC) for the latest information regarding the weather and river conditions, respectively.
Please be advised that forecasts and projections are subject to change, and TRWD reservoir operations are based on observed rainfall conditions. The next update will come tomorrow morning, unless conditions dictate otherwise. Please check back.
