Lake levels on last Friday were at 357ft, with TVA predicting a fall to the Mid 354ft level by mid week. Flow rates were strong, averaging just over 100,000cfs, but TVA will reduce flow once lake levels reach winter pool levels. Average water surface temperatures were holding in the upper 50’s on most days, but we have seen some cool mornings, and temps haven’t moved much this past week. The DO levels are at 11.44mg/L and the pH level is at 7.5. both the Duck and Buffalo Rivers saw a good rise after last weeks rain, with the Duck around 3ft this past Monday, the Buffalo is now at 5ft. The Cumberland River at Dover was at 57ft on Friday, and at 27ft in Clarksville. The Corp of Engineers did shut off Cheatham Dam for a bit last week, but expect flows to average around 20,000cfs this week.
