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

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!!

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.
