Lake Level Predictions

Brian:
Any idea why the predictions on the NWS Newville station are not being displayed? Someone commented they thought it was because the levels were dropping...

Who is responsible for the NWS site and can we find out why it's not being updated? It's really been a tremendous source of information for many of us, especially since last summer.
Thanks

Hello –

Just curious, where’s the prediction of water levels on the “advanced hydrological prediction service?” For more than a week now, the Rock River Newville graph has been indicating the current lake level only.

Thanks!

Brian,

I'm not certain but I think the National Weather Service only makes predictions when they think levels will get to flood levels (or close to it). If they don't anticipate flooding they direct their resources elsewhere. The NWS makes the forecasts so you'd need to check with them to verify that.
