SMUD shared their predictions of expected average inflow to Chili Bar for this coming week as follows:

TueJan 6347 AF
WedJan 7511 AF
ThuJan 8494 AF
FriJan 9478 AF
SatJan 10834 AF
SunJan 11445 AF
MonJan 12431 AF
TueJan 13417 AF

Divide by 2 to get an idea of the daily average in CFS, e.g. the proposed Saturday average flow is about 420 cfs.  Note these are only the average flows; expect fluctuations, sometimes big ones.  Note also that this is what SMUD expect to release, based on their calculations ... depending on all sorts of factors (such as weather), it could be more, or less.  However, barring emergencies, you can confidently count on at least the scheduled releases.

The B120 report for February came out Monday, and it predicts that the "Unimpaired Runoff" above Folsom Reservoir will be 1.435 MAF (million acre-feet).  This is within the Dry range, but since the last two years were Dry or worse, the actual designation is still Super Dry (which is the worst possible designation).

The result is that we continue to lose Sunday scheduled releases below Chili Bar for the near future.  However, even if the Super Dry year continues, in April we go to a Saturday, Sunday, Monday release through Memorial Day, and thereafter we go to a 5 day a week release schedule. 

The Super Dry designation will persist at least until the next B120 bulletin comes out, around March 10.  If we have significant precipitation between now and then, the situation could improve after March 10, and if so the schedule will change in some respects.  So, be sure to check back around March 10.

The B120 report for March came out yesterday, and it predicts that the "Unimpaired Runoff" above Folsom Reservoir will be 1.155 MAF (million acre-feet).  This is down from last month, but still within the Dry range.  Since the last two years were Dry or worse, the actual designation is still Super Dry (which is the worst possible designation).

The result is that we continue to lose Sunday scheduled releases below Chili Bar for the near future.  However, even if the Super Dry year continues, in April we go to a Saturday, Sunday, Monday release through Memorial Day, and thereafter we go to a 5 day a week release schedule. 

The Super Dry designation will persist at least until the next B120 bulletin comes out, around April 10.  If we have significant precipitation between now and then (unlikely, but possible), the situation could improve after April 10, and if so the schedule will change in some respects.  So, be sure to check back around April 10.

The B120 report for April came out today, and it predicts that the "Unimpaired Runoff" above Folsom Reservoir will be 0.870 MAF (million acre-feet).  This is down from last month, and is now in the Critically Dry range.  Since the last two years were Dry or worse, the actual designation is still Super Dry (which is the worst possible designation).

The Super Dry designation will persist at least until the next B120 bulletin comes out, around May 10.  If we have significant precipitation between now and then (unlikely), the situation could improve after May 10, and if so the schedule will change in some respects.  So, be sure to check back around May 10.
