Delaware River Report / Conditions August 3, 2020

No pulse release from Cannonsville so the flows are steady and close to where they were yesterday.  The air temp should hit 83 degrees today which also puts us right where we were yesterday.  According to Wunderground we should see “considerable” cloudiness with wind 5 – 10 from the West.  The rain in today’s forecast should start until well after dark.  Tomorrow is the day with well over an inch of rain predicted but watch that report- they’ve been changing our forecasted amount over the last few days.  Check the latest weather reports and check the gauges a lot tomorrow. We’ll do multiple updates if conditions change throughout the day.  Sulphurs and olives with a few isonychias and caddis will cover your need today.

The lower Beaverkill, lower East Branch, and Mainstem temperatures are all peaking over 70 degrees.  Give those rivers a break until they cool down.
