LCRA urges caution, readiness as rains predicted into next week
Though levels throughout the Highland Lakes chain are not rising rapidly like they were midweek, impending rains over the weekend coupled with another rain event predicted for Monday mean the levels are far from stabilized for the long run.
“We’re in a pretty good place, but we’re anxiously watching the rainfall that might come because the watershed is already very saturated, particularly upstream of Lake Travis,” Hoffman said. “If we get meaningful amounts of heavy rainfall up there, it could cause pretty instantaneous flooding.”
Today the lakes have seen about a half inch to an inch of rainfall, which is not meaningful in terms of flooding, Hoffman said, emphasizing that that could change depending on coming rains.
eally that’s kind of where I see us being for the immediate, foreseeable future until the weather comes in and changes that,” he said, adding that Lake Travis levels should remain at between 704 and 706 feet for now.
Hoffman also pointed out that once the rains let up for a longer period, it will still take weeks for Lake Travis to draw back down.
“But if nature brings more water into the picture then it changes the whole scenario,” he said.
