Delaware River Report / Conditions October 23, 2015

Last night was the beginning of a slight cool down.  Air temperatures dropped but the water temperatures only dropped a degree or two throughout the system.  We should have sun and air temperatures reaching into the 50’s today.  Olives are still hatching in sections with just a few isonychias and some left over heptagenia spinners.  It looks like most of the forecasted rain missed us so we should stay about the same over the next few days.  The release from Cannonsville Reservoir has been raised slightly to 913 cfs this morning.
