Will SNW Be Removed by Labor Day Weekend?

Tough to say for certain - we need to drop another 16 inches or more for the county to remove the SNW order; and their orders are very ambiguous when SNW is applied and removed.

Here is what has happended in the past 18 days -

August 1st
Lake level = 781.16 - inflow = 7,480 cfs

August 18th
lake level = 779.34 - inflow = 3,740 cfs

Nearly a 22 inch drop.

Labor Day weekend begins Friday, September 3rd; 16 days from today. So, absent more rain deluges, and as the level recedes off the shoreline banks and we begin to drop at a faster pace than currently, we should reach a level to remove the SNW the week leading into Labor Day weekend.
