Flood Watch

Resident 2B · 04-09-2009, 04:19 PM

The weather system for Friday and Saturday looks to be going mainly south of us with very little rain/snow. The flow at Lakeport has been increased to 1,500 CFS. The lake is now within a tenth of a foot of "full pool" by my gage and it is still rising, but at a much reduced rate.

The increase in outflow and the rather minor rain/snow event for Friday night into Saturday are all good news. However, it looks to me that we will go over "full pool" by some amount.

The lake flooding, fire in Alton Bay what's next?

There is some good news in that the lake has not flooded yet, and it is looking like we are into a dry spell that should result in a drop in lake level this week. Looking at my dock, I think that drop has already begun.

The lake level was rising rapidly to just about full pool. It then stopped rising and looks to be dropping a bit.

Too bad about the fire in Alton Bay. Tough time, especailly on Easter Sunday.
