Here’s an update from email from Reclamation (Kara Lamb):
Rain has added to the high snowmelt inflows we have been seeing into Green Mountain Reservoir for the past several days. As a result, we have once again bumped up releases from the dam. As of early this morning, there should be about 2400 cfs in the Lower Blue River below Green Mountain Dam.
From email from Reclamation (Kara Lamb):
As projected, releases from Olympus Dam to the Big Thompson did increase to 1000 cfs shortly after lunch [on Saturday]. We have now bumped up to around 1070 cfs. Those in Estes Park will notice we have opened all five gates at the dam to provide a consistent release over the dam. We anticipate holding at 1070 cfs through [Saturday] and into [Sunday].
