Pine View Holding at 4.9+ at 0800

By

Just below the 5 Bar, the Riv’s holding at a high 4.9. Currently 59.1F. Poudre Park Wx: Today: Scattered showers and thunderstorms after 2pm. Increasing clouds, with a high near 75. South southeast wind between 10 and 16 mph, with gusts as high as 25 mph. Chance of precipitation is 40%.

Tonight: A 50 percent chance of showers and thunderstorms before midnight. Mostly cloudy, with a low around 46. South southeast wind between 7 and 15 mph, with gusts as high as 24 mph.

Near freezing overnights at JWR may keep the Riv at current level the next day or so. However, with the slight chance for rain at Cameron, we’ll have to wait to see.

Big water’s here if you hadn’t noticed 🙂

We didn’t see any trees moving yet, but there’s a few big ones ready to go around Pineview (above and below it) so keep your eye’s peeled.

Just barely below 5! With the bouncy wave at the Rock, the Bar showed itself way too much to be a solid 5. At 0700 it was 59.9F, sunny and calm, and NOAA says it’s already 70F.

Poudre Park Wx: Today: Sunny, with a high near 76. Breezy, with a west wind 19 to 22 mph decreasing to between 10 and 13 mph. Winds could gust as high as 34 mph.

Tonight: Clear, with a low around 49. West northwest wind between 5 and 14 mph, with gusts as high as 22 mph.

The overnight low at JWR was 35.8F and it’s currently 41.5 up there. Happy Boating, and don’t forget to DUCK under the bridges!!

Unofficial report, this is second-hand intel from a reliable source. The wave at this level makes a hard accurate read, but it is most definitely in the 4.9 range!

Upper Canyon Update

By

Big South – getting crankier… about 8″ over the top mark now.

Joe Wright – still not in yet… but getting closer.

Spencer Heights – med-high and starting to juice… run #1 was at 2.7, run #2 at 3.0 on the new gauge… probably much higher by the time we got back to town… very warm up there.

Little South – looks to be a medium flow now… over the first rock, but not splashing onto the second yet. The wooden gauge is backed up with main branch water.

Lots of wood lurking at the water’s edge all over the Canyon. There is another stick in the Goal Posts on Spencer, and another channel wide log in Cyclotron. There’s some big wood across the left `1/3 of the river just below Mountain Park in Lower Rustic. And I’m sure things will change again tonight!

Lots of grinning folks up the Canyon today…

Some recent press… Rock Report featured in the Coloradoan… and good to hear from the Larimer County Sheriff.
