Currently 33 and raining.

I will have the full report in a couple hours. In the mean time, all reporting gages are right around 200 cfs lower than yesterday. Look for more info later.

Additionally, expect more snow in the canyon this afternoon. Most likely a rain/snow mix with a high of 38˚F.

More bad news on the Rock Report! Upper Rustic has dozens of river wide strainers you can’t see from the road. Lower Rustic is also full of strainers, but not as many.

Thank you Tyler West for the update and the Pics provided here

Currently 34˚F, Socked in and rain/snow mix.
