USGS Real-Time Water Data for USGS 06821150 Little Platte River at Smithville, MO

Cranked it up too almost 800 cfs...wonder if they are going to lower it more than normal to compensate for the above average snow melt this spring?

Probably not. We have a water level plan they use. The plan calls for a 2 foot winter draw down. Snow melt comes in fairly slowly and they can match that inflow to keep the lake stable.
