What is BOR thinking?

Nice! There you have it. USBR projects 3557 for end of May, 3590 for end of June, and 3590 for end of July. What the peak will be is somewhere in early July is not projected. That will get you the cut sometime in June and Halls launch ramp near the end of May. More importantly, they don't project dropping below 3560 anytime in the future. If you want to see beneath Gregory Natural Bridge, you have about a month to do so.

WOOOHOOO !!

I'll likely have my usual lengthy write-up abut this soon, but yes, it deserves its own thread...

We are looking forward to your evaluation! You da man.
I'm sure you'll explain the 10 foot difference between your 9.5 maf and BOR 9.5 maf. From your April 4 post:

Inflow for WY23 - 13.8 maf
Outflow for WY23 - 9.5 maf

Lake elevation for the last day of the month:

Apr - 3533
May - 3570
Jun - 3601
Jul - 3601
Aug - 3595
Sep - 3591

It looks like there are going to be a lot of people under water in the High water contest.

I didn't see a graph this time with min probable, most probable, and max probable? Did I miss it in the report? I only see the table with most probable

The graph was there when DisToy first posted 24 month study. Now I don't find it either. Something went bump in the night..

Looking forward to wet launch ramps lake wide, Wahweap and Warm creek bays rekindling a connection via the cut, and hearing the collective groans of the drain the lake crowd
Bring on the run off!!

The April 2023 24-Month Study is finally out. The numbers are as expected given all of the constraints. At the end of the water year, both Powell and Mead will have about 9maf of storage. This will hopefully help explain what the BOR was thinking given that a total of 9.5maf needs to be released by the end of the water year.
