Heavy, widespread rainfall is back in the forecast this weekend, primarily at TRWD East Texas (ET) lakes (Richland-Chambers and Cedar Creek). Both ET lakes are above conservation and additional rain may warrant additional flood water releases. The West Fork lakes (Bridgeport and Eagle Mountain) have plenty of room to store the runoff generated by the rain. TRWD staff will be monitoring conditions over the duration of this rain event and flood gate operations at the ET lakes will be adjusted accordingly.
Outlook
Numerous showers and thunderstorms are expected Friday through Sunday with the best storm chances on Saturday. Locally heavy rainfall may lead to local flooding issues, particularly Saturday afternoon and evening. See Graphic-1 for additional information on this upcoming rain event.
