********************National Weather Service--Flood Watch*******************

Tuesday afternoon thru Thursday afternoon

The flow out of the Dam will be increased to 1200CFS starting 7pm tonight thru midnight tomorrow night. The National Weather Service has issued a Flood Watch for our area: An intense storm system moving from the central plains across the central Great Lakes will send a surge of Spring like warmth the across our region Tuesday and Wednesday. Temperatures will soar into the 50s over the western counties on Tuesday with the mercury remaining well above freezing Tuesday night. Temperatures will then climb well into the 50s for the bulk of the region on Wednesday while being accompanied by a general half to three quarters of an inch of rainfall. The fast melt off of the snowpack will combine with this rainfall to cause significant rises to area tributaries with flooding becoming possible. Flooding concerns will be particularly elevated in areas where tributaries are prone to ice jam flooding. Just a few anglers were on the run today, the most success was had at the middle of the run and towards the lower end of the run. A couple of anglers walked most of the run with some success, but there wasn't one bait that worked consistently for them, a lot of trial and error.  Tomorrow's weather will be cloudy skies. High around 45F. Winds SSE at 10 to 15 mph.
