The Winooski at Essex and the Hudson at North Creek are below 350 cfs, and the White, Otter Creek, and Lower Lamoille are below 300 cfs.
The Mad and New Haven are running at about 50 cfs.
We need a lot of rain. Burlington's current 10-day forecast indicates we have about a half inch coming for that entire period, which isn't nearly enough, especially with the recent heat. The declining level of Lake Champlain is an overall indication of the incipient drought we're in. It has dropped 0.5 feet in the last 8 days, and is at a level more typically seen in late July or August.
