Is this batch of rain coming through now gonna fill up the Big 4 or is the corps still letting it go? I would like to see Arkabutla hold a little bit, not as much as last year lol, but enough to make navigation a little easier.

It's going to be nowhere near enough water... the lakes are dry... we need at least like a week of rain!
No where near enuff but its raining like a cow peeing on a flat rock right now, if we got 10 inches or so in the next week they would all be full!!!
At Butla they will try to hold it at 210. until the set date to let it fill.
What's the set date, April 1st?
They try to maintain winter pool until May 1st, last year they had no choice but to hold the water this time of year unless they wanted to flood crenshaw, sarah ms etc. even more due to the amount of rain we had.
Raining good here now
Nader is about 2' above curve as of today. However around the 14th the curve turns sharply higher. After big rains they.ve been known to wait 2-3 days before messing with the gates. By then we'll be almost to that higher rise point. I would be surprised if they did anything (barring monsoon rains).
I'm just curious to see what the water temperature does!
75 degrees and raining , doubt you see much change

Looks like we may get a round of t'storms tonight.. followed by a little more rain Saturday, and calling for a wintry mix / snow Saturday night with a high in the low 50's Sunday.. then back below freezing next Tuesday night.. never know what to wear from one hour to the next round here....lol
Take a snow suit, and a swimming suit
Spring break next week . Should be freezing, high wind and raining . Looking forward to April . Always enjoy the week before/after Easter .
I'm fine with the weather doing what ever it wants for the next week as long as it isn't sunny and 75! (Don't have a day off for at least a week so it needs to be cold and rainy) lol
You are spot on coach, Easter is always goodQuote:
