SIMULATED SCENARIO: The weather forecast and operational recommendations are unchanged from this morning's email. Potomac River flows are still elevated due to the Derecho event. Suppliers have been requested to take advantage of these flows and to conserve reservoir storage. However, we anticipate that flows will begin to fall to near pre-Derecho levels by Sunday.
