The Middle Atlantic River Forecast Center's 24-hour accumulated precipitation map is showing that scattered areas in the basin received 0 to 1.2 inches of rain yesterday. The 3-day forecast show an accumulation between 0.1 and 0.5 is possible, with the higher amounts likely to the central area of the basin. National Weather Service ensemble river forecast for the next four days calls for rising flows at Point of Rocks.
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.

Thank you to everyone who provided daily reports.
Point of Rocks flow is currently at 4,140 cfs and is above the low flow threshold of 2,000 cfs. Bear with us while we wait to see if Point of Rocks flow remains above the low-flow threshold of 2,000 cfs.
The National Weather Service reports that yesterday between 0.5 and 2.0 inches of rain fell over the basin. The 72-hour forecast shows between 0.1 and 0.25 inches of rain may fall in the basin. The 7-day forecast shows that between 0.1 and 0.6 inches of rain may fall in the basin.
During the past 24 hours the western half of the basin received 1 to 2 inches of rain. More rain is on the way, with forecasted accumulations of 1 to 2 inches across the basin over the next two days. Given the forecast and recent rainfall, we expect that mean daily flow at Point of Rocks will soon rise above the trigger for daily drought monitoring of 2000 cfs.
