Taking guesses on how high the water will be by July 10. Given the upper basis snow-water equivalent, I'll add 10% to an average winter runoff which usually gains about 24 feet from these levels. Add 2.5 feet for extra snow, and I'll venture 3626 or 3627 for the high point for summer 2020. That's just about 5 feet higher than max level reached last summer. Mostly an uneventful year...no severe drought this past winter, and alas, no chance of another amazing 55 foot rise as spring 2019.

Papa Jack's High Water Level Contest 2020 Guessing Has Closed
We are getting a late start on this, There will be no prizes this year, just bragging rights on the best guess. Guessing will end May 1, 2020 at 11:59pm Arizona Time. Please post all guesses on this thread, I will try to update daily all guesses, Rules to follow. Good Luck to all. Thank You...
Looks like there might be more snow tonight, but after that warm week ahead.
as Miracle May can still happen i will remain hopeful for more rain and snow up high.
really even if things shut down now and no more additional moisture hit the mountains i think this was a good year following on last year. so whatever else we get is all bonus water for higher elevation right?
