Be aware this is averaged out over several years. The % chance refers to the probability of finding the river running on any given day. For instance a 15% probability for July means on average you can only expect 4.5 days of water. One year there could be 9 days in July with water other years none. Spring levels are usually higher than fall levels.
Fall release
The draw down of Glen Lake is scheduled for Saturday November 4th 2006 time to be posted later. That should provide boating into the early afternoon with the highest levels shortly after the start of the release.
