In the map you see below, the stream gage layer is 'on top'. If you click the stream gage just above the center of the map and then follow the link, you will see the NOAA graph showing actual and forecast water levels for the Okanogan River near Tonasket. The purple colors depict amount of water in the snowpack. For the map legend, please click "Map tips" link in the upper left corner. View larger size in new window

Looks like sand bagging operations will be continuing through the week on the Okanogan if anybody wants a workout. Riverside is advertising that they will help you get fit. The river level is predicted to drop a little and then come up even higher on Thursday or Friday as more of that Canadian snow melts. So far the dikes are holding in Omak and Okanogan. There is seepage into basements and low spots. Yesterday we shored up The dike at a low spot in Okanogan with sandbags and rock. Today more organized groups were supposed to arrive to help. I went on a bike ride in the woods.😈
