A small adjustment down on the release from Cannonsville and we are running 915 cfs at Stilesville. The water temps are up a couple of degrees throughout the system due to the warmer night. Accuweather is showing us at 58 degrees today with 1/4″ of rain. Wind will be 5 mph from the South. If Accuweather has the wind right this should be a decent olive and isonychia day. Yesterday the wind was higher than in the forecast but there were some opportunities when it dropped in the afternoon.
There is some color in the West Branch from the release. The higher the release the more color will be in the river. It happens every Fall when the reservoir begins to turn over.
