WHITE RIVER SYSTEM. All lakes remain in their respective flood pools and
are rising. Full power release from Beaver and Table Rock were continued
through the night in an effort to prevent Beaver from entering surcharge
operation earlier today and allow Table Rock and Bull Shoals storage to move
toward a more balanced condition. Falling conditions at Newport are
favorable for increasing flow from Bull Shoals later today.

Beaver: elev 1129.46 and steady (93.4% flood storage in use); full power
generation (7500 dsf).
Table Rock: elev 921.00 and rising (26.8% flood storage in use); full power
generation (12750 dsf).
Bull Shoals: elev 687.77 and rising (75.4% flood storage in use); target
generation is 7500 dsf.
Norfork: elev 566.29 and rising (39.4% flood storage in use); target
generation is firm power (1.3k dsf); minimum flow releases being made by
siphon.

Current stage at Newport is 12.77 and falling (12' regulating stage).

Current stage at Georgetown is at 14.21' and falling (13' regulating stage).
