With plenty of snow to melt, we’ll see an extended period of higher water and the highest flows in a few years. The warmest days of the season will start melting more snow to feed the river. A projected weekend storm may limit how high the river rises or add to it with rain. When the peak occurs is still a function of how hot it gets and when, along with input from spring rains or not. We know there is a good snowpack, best in years, to sustain flows for a while based on past similar snow years. Be safe, know your limits and keep an eye that flow gage, the melting snow sites and future weather as the Owyhee flows in this high desert can change quickly.
