Delaware River Report / Conditions August 23, 2018

The light rain we had yesterday did not raise the river levels. But over on the Beaverkill, they had some heavier storms which raised the river a bit. It is now falling back and should continue to drop without rain in the next few days. The rest of the river system is dropping as the runoff and the reservoir spill becomes a trickle. The water temperatures are also falling as the spill reduces. Today will be a cooler day and conditions look good for the weekend.
