Throughout this report, Internet addresses are listed for each category of information. The River Flow Advisory Commission web site provides a portal to all these different sites. This Internet site will provide a connection to the ever-changing information critical to monitoring flood potential in the state. At the end of the report, additional sources are provided for further information. An updated report will be issued following a review of current conditions on April 4, or sooner if conditions warrant.
River flows throughout the state are generally normal and receding from last week's storm.
River basin managers report headwater storage levels at or below normal pre-spring drawdown levels in anticipation of spring runoff. This means that more storage is available to retain snowmelt and rainfall. River ice cover has gone out in many coastal areas as a result of last week's rain and mild weather. Strong spring sun and rising water temperatures will generally work to erode river ice naturally. Throughout the remainder of the state the ice cover has begun to erode, but the potential for ice jams still exists.
