TRWD continues to monitor reservoir conditions 24 hours a day. There were trace amounts of rainfall in a few locations within TRWD watersheds in the past 24 hours, but nothing significant enough to change runoff conditions. The next few days are expected to be dry, with the next rainfall chances for Richland-Chambers and Cedar Creek on Wednesday with the arrival of a cold front (see Graphic-1 below). Eagle Mountain and Bridgeport are not anticipated to receive any rainfall from this system.
Richland-Chambers filled overnight, and discharges from the reservoir were initiated early this morning. Discharges from Cedar Creek were increased throughout the day yesterday, and the pool has leveled off somewhat for the time being. Additional updates to lake status and flood discharges will be posted here.
Please be advised that forecasts and projections are subject to change, and TRWD reservoir operations are based on observed rainfall conditions. Updates to this blog will be made periodically as warranted.
