It takes a LOT of rain to bring the lake level up another 3" to hit 505.00' I think we just need a slow week rain wise and the downstream pressure will be off and they can open the dams up a little.

And we may get a lot more in the wee hours of Thursday morning. Let's hope it stays south because another 1 to 3 inches is possible isn't going to help.

I agree that a lot more immediate rain may pose problems. On the other hand, I'm ecstatic to think that maintaining lake levels will easily extend the season to October 15+. Too many seasons end prematurely when folks can't get in/out of their docks because of low water.
