Weather Update
TRWD continues to monitor watershed conditions 24 hours a day. Isolated showers with small amounts of rain (up to 0.18″) were recorded in the last 24 hours in TRWD lakes with no significant impacts to current conditions. Typical hot and dry summer weather is expected for the weekend and for the upcoming workweek. See Graphic-1 for National Weather Service (NWS) guidance.
Reservoir Conditions
Current reservoir conditions are shown below. Bridgeport reached conservation earlier this morning and low level discharges will start later today. Eagle Mountain pool continues to rise due to inflows from upstream areas arriving into the lake and there is a potential for it to fill in the next couple of days. Monitoring staff will continue to watch the conditions at Eagle Mountain and will take appropriate action if needed. Staff will continue to monitor conditions and make discharges as needed to safely move excess water through the system. Updates to lake status and flood discharges will be posted here as needed.
Please be advised that forecasts and projections are subject to change, and TRWD reservoir operations are based on observed rainfall conditions. This will be the final update for this event, unless conditions dictate otherwise. Be sure to subscribe to receive e-mail notification of any new Lake Level Blog posts.
