The rain is still falling over the creeks and picking up, so expect the river to start lifting from its dead-still 2 cfs soon. Since the storm is moving through fast, it should crest shortly and likely drop unless that extra half-inch sticks. Check back in the next couple of hours to see if it finally climbs into floatable territory.

Mainstem Gauges — Upstream to Downstream
Each card’s level is the gauge reading on that card’s own level set (listed at the bottom of the card). Rise, wave and chance lines are forecasts; when two of them disagree, the card says so.
