Although it is raining some, it is not pouring. Therefore, it looks like the lake will stay at this level, then recede as the good weather comes in later this week. Hopefully, this keeps us out of the "No Wake" rules that usually come at about 505'.
The 1600 cfs release level is resulting in a good current in the Weirs Channel making it tough to hold control heading south at 6MPH GPS. Remember, GPS is relative to the land, not the current. The boat could care less how fast it is going relative to the land as far as control is concerned. It is speed relative to the current that gives control.

I think this is a good summary of the current conditions. It would need to go up almost 4 -6 inches before a serious consideration for a no wake over the lake based on similar conditions in 2005,6, and 7. Of course a really strong system could drop 3 to 4 inches over a day and that would change things considerably but that is unlikely.
