Just a quick update on water supply and forecast conditions for all of our followers. The Pacific Northwest has had a lot of precipitation and reservoir operations are being coordinated both locally and far downstream with the Bureau of Reclamation and the Army Corps of Engineers. Currently system operators are storing water into Lake Roosevelt, Lake Pend Oreille, Flathead Lake, Hungry Horse Reservoir, and Dworshak Reservoir to manage the flood stage in Vancouver while the Willamette River crests near 100,000 CFS. In the coming weeks the storage reservoirs will be drafted for usual spring Flood Risk Management operations. With current forecasts we expect the lake level to crest by the end of next week and then anticipate the project to decrease levels for spring flood risk management.

Just a quick update on water supply and forecast conditions for all of our followers. Precipitation forecasts call for a wet 10-day period in the Pacific Northwest. NOAA has released flood watches for rivers in the Flathead valley but reservoir operations remain routine. The current water supply has improved due to the snowpack building from the recent precipitation and is currently forecasted at 105% of normal runoff- a big improvement from last month’s forecast. The lake is currently over 2 feet below full pool and will continue to draft over the winter months to the April flood risk management elevation of near 10 feet below full pool. After three years of drought conditions let’s hope for continued snow building through the winter months to keep up the water supply outlook.
