Delaware River Report / Conditions August 11, 2018

Things continue to look good for the West Branch.  There are some reports of geese and mergansers that were damaged by the spill but not much else.  There have been olives and isonychias on the door the last two mornings.  The East and West Branch are both still high with 1,150 cfs at Downsville and 1,500 cfs at Stilesville.  The township crews are still working on some of the secondary roads but the repairs seem to be moving quickly. We may see a few more thunderstorms today with the possibility of 1/2″ of rain spread throughout the day.  Another on of those spotty weather patterns we’ve had lately.
