The Department requests a continuation of the current thermal release until tomorrow, Wednesday, July 17th, 2019 according to the schedule below. Elevated nighttime temperatures will provide reduced cooling. Similar streamflow/air temperature scenarios in 2010, 2012, 2016, and 2018 resulted in water temperatures above 75F at Lordville. An increase over the current release for Fri-Sun may be requested if the forecast remains warm.
