TRWD continues to monitor reservoir conditions 24 hours a day. Current reservoir conditions are provided below. Currently, Eagle Mountain, Cedar Creek, and Richland-Chambers are making flood discharges. Any additional updates to flood discharges will be posted here.
Conditions are expected to remain rain free until Sunday evening, when showers develop. Depths are expected to be around 1/4 inch at this time. Next week there are several days with rainfall anticipated, but depths are expected to remain low. The National Weather Service (NWS) has put together a Spring Flood Outlook, seen in Graphic-1. The main takeaway is that we can expect a near average flood risk for this spring in North Texas. Please continue to follow the NWS and the River Forecast Center (RFC) for the latest information regarding the weather and river conditions, respectively.
Please be advised that forecasts and projections are subject to change, and TRWD reservoir operations are based on observed rainfall conditions. The next update will come tomorrow morning, unless conditions dictate otherwise. Please check back.
