Daily Potomac flow and demand update (Friday 10/04/2013)
Potomac River flows at Point of Rocks and Little Falls are still slightly higher due to last weekend's water quality releases from the North Branch reservoirs. The basin is expected to receive some precipitation - trace amounts up to a half inch - on Sunday. The Middle Atlantic River Forecast Center predicts that flow at Point of Rocks will fall to 1720 cfs over the next 72 hours.
Because flow conditions are expected to be relatively stable over the next 72 hours, CO-OP's daily drought monitoring and reporting will be suspended over the weekend, and will resume on Monday.
