So, update on the Hewlett Gulch Bridge Gauge- at lower levels the riverbed is split. So the values at these lower levels aren’t quite accurate. The city is working on calibrating this disparity. I will let you know when it is done, not likely any time soon, though. I will continue to report them, but understand the cfs values are not very accurate.

If your glass is half full, you could say 2.1. Currently 63˚F, partly cloudy and calm. Note, I do not believe the Hewlett Gulch Bridge is accurate these last few days. It’s reading similar cfs that we had as high as 2.75, which we clearly are not at. But I will continue to report it for records sake.
