12 miles above the 72 bridge at my place received 3/10” rain last night.

 

I see the graph did bump up to 3.7 at roselle. It won’t last look if the gauge is accurate. Im headed to D in a few hours with my boat and I’ll boat if it’s up.

I will be back home around 2 PM hopefully. Text me 314-520-7278 if you want to try to meet.  I don’t think the river is going to be up for very long so go earlier today if possible.

The gauge shows 3.27. It’s up.

Watch the NWS graph. It appears to be cresting now.  It may only run today without more rain.

Is anyone free to boat tonight? Jerry? I left a message on your phone.

The level is now 13” and rising fast.

Chuck what does your chart show for CFS at O?

NWS right now shows almost .1 CFS I’m assuming that’s 100 CFS and accurate.

Can you post that chart? I remember looking at a few sheets of paper stapled  together driving thru Tenn. trying to decide what was running. Wasn’t it called the MWA river runner?

Does anyone remember calling gauges at a pay phone and listening to a recording of someone with a thick southern accent reading gauge numbers?

Noon was a guess. Text me if you are sure you are paddling. 2 pm prob is more likely now.

My Syenite rain gauge shows we received  1.3” rain last night. It was a heavy downpour and see a slight bump on NWS so I’m boating today possibly noon

Btw Eric, Tracy, myself and others boated at 1.5” D Monday and played hard for hours.

I agree with Chuck. If the NWS shows 75 cfs it’s runnable. I don’t recall what that would be at D bridge before they trenched for that blue pex conduit.

Chuck what is minimum cfs? I ran it at -4 at D bridge once and paddled under the dam.
