TRWD continues to monitor reservoir conditions 24 hours a day. Current reservoir conditions are below. Currently, Eagle Mountain, Cedar Creek, and Richland-Chambers are making a flood discharge. A small discharge increase is planned for Eagle Mountain, where discharge will increase to approximately 160 cfs later this morning. Any additional updates to flood discharges will be posted here.
There is no rain in the forecast for today and tomorrow. Low rain chances return Sunday into Monday morning, see National Weather Service (NWS) weekend weather guidance in Graphic-1. Please continue to follow the NWS and the River Forecast Center (RFC) for the latest information regarding the weather and river conditions, respectively. Graphic-2 is an interesting bit perspective on the wet conditions in North Texas so far this year. Through yesterday 8.85 inches of rain has been recorded at DFW Airport, making this the second wettest start to a year on record!
Please be advised that forecasts and projections are subject to change, and TRWD reservoir operations are based on observed rainfall conditions. The next update will come tomorrow morning, unless conditions dictate otherwise. Please check back.
