No precipitation fell in the basin yesterday, except for an isolated amount of trace rainfall over the mainstem between Goose Creek and the Monocacy. The trajectory of Hurricane Earl remains off the coast and it does not appear that the basin will receive any precipitation from this event. The National Weather Service does indicate a chance of up to 0.10 of an inch of rain in the next 48 hours in the North Branch area. The flow at Point of Rocks reflects the artificially varied flow release reaching the gage. It is expected that flow will return to the level that has been seen over the past couple of days sometime tomorrow.
