As we now will do each Monday, Wednesday and Friday during the merry month of May, attached is the current flow report indicating Rock Creek is currently flowing @ 1,290 cubic feet per second, a continued decline over the past week where ambient daytime high temperatures have likewise declined, maxing out in the mid 40's with Rock Creek water temperatures, resultantly, dropping to a frigid 38.5 degrees.
Looking ahead, starting today, ambient daytime highs are forecast to rise into the 50's for the balance of this week, and, next week, to further increase into the mid to high 60's, which will result in an increase in the runoff flow rate. The snow water equivalent of accumulated snow in our targeted Bitterroot Mountains is 111% of 20 year norms, so there is still plenty of that white stuff to melt off and find its way downstream, something that it will be fun to follow this month.
Best to all amidst the flow of it all,
Rock Creek Ron
