Typically they will not adjust it more then once or twice a week. In extreme conditions they will review and adjust daily, but that is rare.....

They have just adjusted it upward every day from May 15 - May 21, starting at 250 CFS to 1500 CFS. It can't be changed 24 hours a day but daily is obviously possible.
In this instance, the lake peaked due to the rainstorm at about 8" over full on May 18 and has now dropped about 1 1/2 inches. It will take about another 5 days at the current rate of 1500 CFS to get down to a "manageable" 2" over full pool.
We are due another 1/2 of rain on Sun/Mon.
