Current streamflow- 1700cfs
Water temps- mid 40s
The river is running pretty high after heavy rains the last couple of days. River levels are dropping quickly, but there is another 1"+ of rain in the forecast between Saturday and early Sunday morning. According to the extended forecast, it looks like we are also diving back into below freezing overnight temps next week with up to 2" of snow now being forecasted for the middle of the week. Stark contrast to the t-shirt weather that we all enjoyed just a week ago. This has been one rollercoaster of a winter!
It may be a better weekend to tie flies and prep your gear for warmer days. On the bright side, spring isn't too far away. It's just one of the many perks of living in East Tennessee.
