Flooding predictions

What does everyone think is going to happen on pool 4 this spring. Will it be like last spring or will it be even higher. I have talked to quite a few people who think it wont even be close to last year and they are basing their opinions on the fact that the frost only went down 12-18 inches and that the ground will absorb alot of the melting snow. Lets hear what people think, especially the guys that are around the river everyday.

to many factors to predict…

If it doesn’t rain like H3LL it won’t be as bad as it could be

Even NOAA is holding off on predictions. Just not enough info and these guys always error on safety.

According to NOAA the river is lower than last year and not rising yet…

I was checking out the USGS site today and the Blue Earth, Cottonwood and the Minnesota all appear to have shot up a foot or more in about 24 hours. We’ll see where this goes.

Follow a part of the Zumbro River home from work, and it is really RISING! ! ! and it’s all heading to the Mississippi…

our news had a story on the possible flooding,Davenport is preparing for flooding the national weather service in conjuntion with other sources are predicting 95% chance of major flooding.But like said it’s to early to predict and to many variables.

THE SKY IS FALLING , THE SKY IS FALLING!!!!!!!

Here is the updated Hydrological report for Pool 4:

Alot of factors will still come into play as far as how high the water may get, but this should serve as a nice guideline.

Hopefully these cooler temps we have coming in next week will limit the amount of melt we get for a while and allow some of this water go get passed on downstream.

Those must be hot off the press! They weren’t there at 6 am!

Thanks Justin!

So we are looking at about a week before the fishing gets really good.
