Delaware River Report / Conditions April 18, 2018

We had a few snow showers overnight that left us with a dusting in the grass.  It won’t last long today once the air temp warms up.  We should see high 40’s today.  Wonderground has better weather arriving Saturday and sticking around.  It may be Spring now.  The flows are still up this morning but are beginning to drop back.  The Beaverkill and The WB at Stilesville are both dropping back quickly.  Stilesville is dropping because they cut the release from Cannonsville back to 1,120. It is still spilling 365 cfs this morning.  Pepacton Reservoir is spilling bringing the East Branch flow at Downsville to 2,290.  Streamers are still the best option but things look good for the next two weeks.  Water temps should climb over the weekend and it warms up and the runoff subsides.
