More rain in the already rain-soaked Cedar Creek (CC) and Richland-Chambers (RC) watersheds. See Graphic-1 for yesterday’s totals. Weekend rain totals can be seen in Graphic-2. The area between Kaufman and Kemp in the CC watershed received over 8″ of rain. This was the driver behind the frequent CC spillway changes over the weekend.
Flood Releases
In general, we are expecting both CC and RC to either recede or remain fairly constant over the next 24-hours as runoff from the weekend rainfall continues to flow into the lakes. Reservoir staff is monitoring this inflow to manage lake levels and downstream conditions as safe as possible.
Outlook
Graphic-3 is from the River Forecast Center and the forecasted rainfall depths for the week along with current and forecasted river conditions. Today and most of tomorrow should be a break from the rain. However, rain chances return on Wednesday.
This will be the final update for this event. Gate changes will continue to be posted to the Lake Level Blog. Next update will come when conditions warrant. Please subscribe or check back when lake levels are on the rise. Thanks!
