Delaware River Report / Conditions May 13, 2021

Wunderground is only forecasting the wind to be 8 – 10 mph from the North today.  That’s such a great change after the last fewdays of 10 to 20.  The air temp will hit 64 degrees with mostly sun and a few afternoon clouds.  Sounds like a nice day to be on the water.  Water temps look good throughout the system and should come up a bit over the next few days with the sunshine.  Cannonsville and Pepacton Reservoirs are still spilling so their respective rivers are coming down very slowly.  If you are wading stay over on the Beavekill / Willowemoc.  There’s no significant rain in the forecast so hopefully the West and East Branch flows drop to reasonable levels over the weekend.
