Up she goes again.

Well we had been dropping nicely until about 0400 hrs this morning when we got smacked by a deluge. Local flooding and inflows into the lake increased dramatically. Outflow from the dam has been reduced to 1000 CFS, possible reduction even lower. With the inflow the first forecast. Hopefully the forecast misses it high as usual, but more rain chance every day seems like.

MoPanfisher I sent you a PM,

I have poured 6.05 inches out of my rain gauge this morning. It's wet in Buffalo!

[MOPanfisher]

And calling for another inch or two possible tonight. Oh well, if it weren't for the occasional flood there wouldn't be a need for the lake. Down to 500 CFS and will go down to 100 CFS soon.

[NicknKC]

True on the occasional flood...but the weekend plans are a bust now and probably most of the rest of the month of July if that lake level forecast holds true! Mother nature can cut this off at any point now!

[MOPanfisher]

Yeah if it makes that forecast there be a several folks who thought they were camping at the lake this weekend find out they arent. Fortunately they usually miss on the high side.

[MOPanfisher]

Well another 3 inches of rain last night and with outflow current shut down to 100, on up it goes.

[NicknKC]

I think it will pass the lake forecast from yesterday. I bet we see 857 when this is all said and done. Does the public have access to that 10 day forecast you post? Also, they use to let more than 2800 CFS out of the lake, more like 3500 CFS, can they still do that once they the other lakes under control? The Ozarks is 2.5 feet over full pool and rising. This is just crazy!

http://www.nwk.usace.army.mil/Locations/WaterManagement.aspx here is a link to a 3 day forecast. They send us a special one but once you get past the 3 days it gets pretty shaky.

With last nights rain I suspect we will roll through yesterdays prediction and on up, wouldn't be surprised to see 857. I know the Truman Lake area got smacked again last night, with lots of damage from trees down to roof damage at the Maint. Area, don't know how much rain they received but any was more than they wanted. If LoZ can get their elevation under control, and if the Mo River at Herman doesn't get too high, and we can all begin releases again etc. Well thats a lot of ifs. The big rains are supposed to be gone, with just popup cells, but if one of them hits in the right spot and drops another inch or two, then it just gets worse. The timing sucks. We are having to move campers off of sites as the water in moving in under their camper, trying to determine which sites are next, and at this level a foot or two makes a lot of difference. And since all the campsites are booked for the weekend thee is no place for them to move to.

Well with all the rain you guys shutting down discharge went through Hermitage this morning river still holding about where it has been.

Truman is up but not much more than it was. I know more water is running in but they are letting some out.
