System storage is currently 67.0 MAF, 10.9 MAF above the base of the Annual Flood Control and Multiple Use Zone. The storage in the System peaked at 68.4 MAF on July 8th, occupying 12.3 of the 16.3 MAF of designated flood control storage space. Releases from all System projects will be higher than average during the summer and fall to evacuate all water stored in the designated flood control storage zones. The August precipitation outlook from the CPC indicates slightly increased chances for below-normal precipitation in Kansas and Missouri, slightly increased chances for above-normal precipitation in Wyoming, and equal chances for above-normal, normal, and below-normal precipitation elsewhere in the Basin. Gavins Point releases are expected to be about 58,000 cfs for the next several months, but will be adjusted if downstream conditions warrant.
