Beginning on October 25, 2021, the daily average releases from Flaming Gorge Dam are scheduled to be decreased from 1,230 cfs to 850 cfs according to the schedule below. On November 3, the daily average release will be 850 cfs, and continue thereafter or until a new notification is issued. Hourly release schedules issued by WAPA for power production may include daily fluctuations to meet power demand contracts.
This data is considered the most likely scenario given the current forecast, is general, and is subject to changing conditions. Forecasted (tentative) hourly release schedules can be found by visiting the Colorado River Basin Forecast Center at this website: https://www.cbrfc.noaa.gov/station/flowplot/flowplot.cgi?GRZU1. However, notification updates such as this one could take some time, a day or so, to be reflected on the website. Tabulated hourly data can be found on this page under the link, “Hourly Forecast Flow csv” in the lower right hand corner of the webpage, or navigating to this link: https://www.cbrfc.noaa.gov/product/hydrofcst/RVFCSV/GRZU1.fflw1.csv.
