Delaware River Report / Conditions September 18, 2018

It looks like a lot of the rain split East and West of us.  It was mostly a steady light rain from 6 pm on.  The rivers are up this morning but no where near the levels people were predicting.  The flow at hale Eddy is 2,590 and climbing this morning but should level off and begin to drop by this afternoon.  We may see a brief shower or two this morning but that should be over before lunch.  The drop in air temperature is certainly welcome and we should peak around 75 degrees today.  The night time temps should be in the 50’s for most of the week.   The cooler air temps should help drop the water temps.  Hopefully that pushes the fall bugs and the hatches of olives, hebes, and smaller isonychias should get better towards the weekend.
