TRWD continues to monitor reservoir conditions 24 hours a day.  Currently, the Bridgeport and Eagle Mountain spillways are making discharges. Additional updates to flood discharges will be posted here.

Lake Closure Status

No rainfall has been recorded at TRWD lakes in the last 24 hours.  National Weather Service (NWS) guidance for today is shown in Graphic-1.  It will be hot today with a chance of isolated showers in the Richland-Chambers and Cedar Creek area due to the outer bands of Tropical Storm Cristobal.   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 Reservoir Monitoring Update will be posted tomorrow morning.
