Root Admin Phil Lilley Posted June 19, 2015 Root Admin Posted June 19, 2015 SUMMARY. Tropical Storm Bill is moving out of the Little Rock District. With the exception of Greers Ferry, all White River Lakes are experiencing moderate rises. Arkansas River Lakes are steady or falling.Precipitation/Forecast. The brunt of tropical storm Bill skirted around the northern edge of the White River Basin during the night. The worst rain in the district was along an arc from the Beaver Local, Table Rock Local, and James River Basins; precipitation ranged between 1.5 and 2.0 inches in those areas, but total basin average for both Beaver and Table Rock was about 1.5 inches. Most basins received less than 0.5 inch of rainfall. Scattered convection storms are expected across the state today. The local NWS forecast discussion says, "...possible the Northern row or two of Arkansas Counties could pick up an additional 1-2 inches of rain today give the slow movement of this remnant system." Mostly dry conditions across district for next seven days once Bill moves east today. Clearwater basin is forecasted to receive between 2" and 3" inches of precipitation today.Table Rock: elev 918.63 and rising; releasing 14.8k CFS, using 2 turbines and 8 gates @ 1-ft. Will open later today to 19.4k CFS using: 2 turbines, 6 gates @ 1.5-ft, 2 gates @ 1-ft, and 2 gates 2 0.5-ft.Greg OllerLake ManagerUS Army Corps of Engineers magicwormman 1

Terrierman Posted June 19, 2015 Posted June 19, 2015 I got over 8 inches in the last 24 hours at my house just North of Ozark. The James River is high enough that ramps to Hwy 60 from Hwy 65 are closed.

Root Admin Phil Lilley Posted June 19, 2015 Author Root Admin Posted June 19, 2015 TR is supposed to crest Saturday afternoon at 923 feet.
Members AAD Posted June 19, 2015 Members Posted June 19, 2015 Indeed it is a wet year. Went catfishing on Wright Patman outside of Texarkana back in May, it was a little over 2 feet high at that point. Just looked on the website and it is over 17 ft high now. Just an amazing amount of water on a 19,000 acre lake.
Root Admin Phil Lilley Posted June 20, 2015 Author Root Admin Posted June 20, 2015 A revised Table Rock Lake Crest prediction: 925.0 on Monday, June 22.Releases from Table Rock dam will not change and remain at 20K cfs
Champ188 Posted June 20, 2015 Posted June 20, 2015 Phil, I presume that 20K cfs amount puts none of your property in jeopardy?
