Suspending daily monitoring-Daily Potomac flow and demand update (Tuesday, 2023-08-08)
CO-OP is suspending daily drought monitoring emails because flow at the US Geological Survey’s gage at Point of Rocks, Maryland, has risen above the 2000 cfs monitoring threshold. Yesterday, a tornado watch lasted until 9 p.m., but there were no confirmed tornadoes in the region. Some parts of the basin observed up to 1.75 to 2 inches of precipitation during this time. The Middle Atlantic River Forecast Center predicts an additional 0.1 to 1.25 inches of rainfall over the next 72 hours, possibly arriving by this Thursday.
