TRWD continues to monitor reservoir conditions 24 hours a day. Current reservoir conditions are provided below. Low level flood discharges continue at Eagle Mountain and Richland-Chambers. The Eagle Mountain spillway gates remain closed; however, there is a small discharge at the overflow spillway that will continue until the pool level falls below elevation 649.1 ft-msl. Updates to flood discharges will be posted here.
All TRWD lakes (including Marine Creek), trail systems and parks remain open to the public and available for normal recreational activities. However, visitors are subject to all rules, regulations and guidance issued for each specific location either federal, state or local during this period of National Emergency. Please click here to see an important notice about new Eagle Mountain Park hours.
No measurable rainfall at the TRWD reservoirs in the last 24-hours. With the month of April in the books, the National Weather Service (NWS) has compiled the year-to-date rainfall totals, see Graphic-1. There was 1.9 inches recorded at DFW Airport in April, 0.9 inches below normal. This was still enough to keep 2020 in the Top 10 of Year-to-Date Rainfall (through April 30). If you remember, 2020 ranked #1 through March 31. The 5-Day Outlook, Graphic-2, shows a stretch of warm and dry days. Currently the next rain chances are expected the middle of next week. 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. This will be the last Reservoir Monitoring Update until conditions dictate otherwise.
