Lake levels have remained somewhat stable this past week, levels were at 357.8ft on Friday, with TVA predicting a slight rise by Wednesday. Of course, the weatherman is predicting rain this week, and this could change the levels TVA is predicting. Flows have dropped off as the lakes rise, with averages around 28,000cfs over the last weekend. The surface water temps moved into the low 60’s mid week, but we did see a considerable cool down Thursday and Friday, which I’m sure dropped the water temps back into the 50’s, but we should see some warmer days, and more importantly nights, which will push the surface temps back into the 60’s. The DO level on Kentucky Lake was at 10.88mg/L with a pH of 7.68. The Duck River saw a slight rise last week, but came down to 3.5ft on Sunday, but with the rain predicted, expect the Duck and Buffalo to come back up. The Cumberland at Dover was at 58.07ft, and at 29ft at Clarksville. Cheatham Dam was discharging 22,500 cfs.
