Delaware River Report / Conditions April 21, 2019

We had a few brief showers yesterday but it cleared and we actually saw some sunshine in the late afternoon.  The West Branch was clearing for most of the day and didn’t look bad after lunch.  There were people floating and throwing streamers.  We did see a bump in flow as the spill increased but we seem leveled off this morning.  Today looks really nice with an air temp hitting 68 degrees and wind around 4 mph.  We should see sunshine an pretty much zero precipitation.  The river flows should slowly drop throughout the day.

 

The inflow to Cannonsville is dropping quickly.
