MARFC's 24-hour accumulated precipitation map is showing that scattered areas in the basin received 0.1 to 1.75 inches of rain yesterday. The 3-day forecast shows an accumulation between 0.1 and 0.75 is possible, with the higher amounts likely to the southwest.

The USGS visited the Point of Rocks gage yesterday to verify the rating curve. Flow was measured as slightly less than what the gage was reporting.

Little Falls gage flow 09/02: 800 MGD (1240 cfs)
Little Falls gage flow 09/03: 790 MGD (est., based on recently available real time data) (1220 cfs)
Note: Gage flow at Little Falls is measured after water supply withdrawals.
