Lake Travis at 701 and Still Rising!
 

Lake Travis forecast to reach between 702-703 feet msl


Runoff into the Colorado River from this week's rains continues to drive up the forecasted peak of Lake Travis.

LCRA now predicts that Lake Travis will peak between 702 and 703 feet above mean sea level, based on rain that has already fallen. Its level at 4:00 p.m. Wednesday was 701.02 feet. The lake, formed by Mansfield Dam, was built to hold back water during times of flood. Fluctuations in its level are expected.

The revised forecasted peak for Lake Travis comes after heavy rains pelted part of the Hill Country on Tuesday and as forecasters carefully monitored a large area of rain that had developed southeast of Austin on Wednesday.

Early Wednesday, LCRA reopened a third floodgate at Buchanan Dam — the northernmost dam along the Highland Lakes chain.

With the forecast of more rain, be advised: If there is much additional rain, at a time when the lakes and river are already full, changes to floodgate operations may be made with little or no notice.

Runoff from additional rain would continue to feed into Lake Travis — the primary flood control reservoir in the Highland Lakes chain. More rain could change lake level forecasts and operational plans.

Compare these pics. Look at the hand rail! :eek:

One is Saturday. The other is Wednesday (today).
