Delaware River Report / Conditions July 11, 2017

The release from Cannonsville has been cut back this morning to 401 cfs.  We had a little rain overnight but not enough to bump the flows.  We may see a thunderstorm or two today but forecasted precipitation amounts are negligible.  We should have decent cloud cover for most of the afternoon.  That will help keep the West Branch water temperature in check.  We dropped a few degrees and the West at the 191 Bridge is starting off at a nice 55 degrees this morning.  Hopefully the cloud cover and light storms will bring out the olives and sulphurs a little earlier in the afternoon. Winds look great great today gusting only to 7 mph.

 

Still a good amount of water but  ramping down would have been nice
