Widespread rain in the TRWD watersheds over the past 24-hours. See Graphic-1 for a map of 24-hour rainfall totals. An average of 0.6-inches across the Bridgeport and Eagle Mountain area. Cedar Creek and Richland-Chambers saw on average 0.9-1.2 inches across the area.
Spillway operations are on-going at Richland-Chambers and Cedar Creek to return the pools back below conservation. Reservoir staff will be monitoring conditions and will make updates to spillway operations as needed to safely pass the excess flood water and return the reservoir back to conservation elevation. Updates regarding spillway gate changes from TRWD lakes will be posted to the Lake Level Blog as they occur.
Rain is expected to move out of the area Friday and remain dry Saturday. Next chance of rain returns Sunday evening and could continue through Tuesday. See Graphic 2 for the NWS guidance below.
