That's great news!
Everything is rolling in Clifton!
Even better....It's running at 28,400 cf/s at Valley Mills. That's a lot of water.Bexar Pitts said:

Mr. Treehorn treats objects like women, man.
Oh wow that's awesome.
Be curious to see what % / how many feet this adds back to the lake.

Probably not many. Would need that to be the case for 2 or 3 days to get a significant rise. Now….it's supposed to be 44 and raining on Monday, and if it's a significant rain, there will be a lot of runoff as the ground is nicely saturated upstream.

The is already up 6 in over yesterday
Here's a site that updates often..scroll to instantaneous readings... https://waterdatafortexas.org/reservoirs/individual/waco
Close to a foot now.
Drove over north river crossing bridge and it caught my eye. It was really flowing into lake Waco. It's been stagnant and all dried up. This is great.

I follow this pretty closely
This is the better site
Lake Waco is up two feet …
Up over 4 feet.
Now 67% capacity up from 54%!
Many of the boat ramps have been closed due to drought. Should maybe allow for some areas to reopen soon

This is great to see! Plus, as Trey mentioned earlier, any additional substantial rainfall over the saturated watershed will only accentuate the rise..As is often said, droughts usually end with floods..We've got a ways to go to end this period of drought, but this is a good way to start..southtexasbear said:

You know the old saying in Texas. Long periods of drought, interrupted by an occasional flood.
Thanks to Big12 and CT for the Lakesonline site recommendation..Good information is always appreciated!
You bet. That site sure is a lot more fun to follow after a big rain event than it is during most of the summer.Bexar Pitts said:

This is the highest Lake Waco has been since July 3rd.
More rain coming!
Happy to see the rain, but they were supposed to pour about 2000 sq ft of concrete at my house expansion this week. Delays in construction are the worst. All those wasted days of Summer with them getting their crap together and now this
You may be glad that is wasn't poured before this rainy spell...Central Texas soils are probably gonna be moving around a fair bit after a long, hot drought and then deluges..Localbear said:

Looks like all 3 Bosque Rivers' watersheds are under a Flood Watch from 7 PM Friday through Saturday morning...Rainfall totals of 2 to 4 incj\hes are possible, with isolated amounts up to 6 inches also possible..This is our best opportunity in several years to put some meaningful water amounts in Lake Waco..Hope it happens, with certainly no loss of life or property.FirmBear24 said:

Harris Creek is not a dry creek tonight!

About six inches fell at the McGregor airport in 2 hours. Only about half an inch fell at Waco's airport over the same time.
I watched the video a couple of times, and both times I was like dude you might want to take a couple of steps back from the edge. I would hate for the bank to wash away with you on it.
How high's the water mama?
Five feet high and rising
How high's the water papa?
She said it's five feet high and rising!
Lake Waco in now up 5 1/2 feet and still rising!
73.4% full.
Thank you Jesus for answering prayers and providing what we need, when we need it!

Gotta give that an "Amen!"
I wonder when was the last time you could "hear" Harris Creek? Been a while.....southtexasbear said:

I had 4.5 in of rain last night in Hidden Valley
Saw that huge red blob on radar and knew somebody was gettin' a gully washer..Guess that water found its way to Lake Waco via South Bosque watershed.. Hope so anyway! Since it looked to be moving N/NE, should have worked it's way up to Middle Bosque too..CTbruin said:

The lake will be back to normal in a day or two
Now only 3.96 below flood pool…. Started the week about 12 feet below! And the lake is still rising!!!

Below full pool, flood pool is 500 ft
I'm sure this will make our water bills go down in price, right?
