8/22/24 2pm, assuming we will remain at 60cfs out of the Chatfield Reservoir/Dam since there is no official word yet so late in the day from DNR-DWR.
RRP: 73cfs+/- Looking flat at RRP. Possible late afternoon rain but not no need to skip out on hitting the gym.
Pueblo: 350cfs+/- (predicted) Pueblo Dam reduced the flow by about 120cfs; so the P-town new wave will be at the very lowest flow rate it was designed for. Hope someone can get an eye on the wave this evening to make a field report on if it is surfable at 350ish cfs and give us an update on the boulder work being done right at the new wave.
Scout: 511cfs+/- Scout Wave is holding up better at close to 500cfs and is not really flushing out. Seems there is a bit more flow in the river than when it was flushing out. Post VMF flow and school back in session seems to be keeping crowds down.
