Just noticed a 4.9 bubble predicted for the James on Monday. Anybody interested in running the Lower about 5 pm?

im in for sure

In def. going to try!! Been quit a while!
Just need to clear it in the AM with the boss man.

Will post tomorrow with def. Y or N!
Hope to get out tomorrow with everyone!

The river level forcast has been updated and there is quit a change. It looks like the bubble is moving slower than 1st predicted. The crest is now scheduled for tomorrow (8/16) @ 6pm - crested level to be 5.2'.
As always, things change! So I will keep an eye on the guage today, but I am planning for the paddle tomorrow...not this afternoon. As of now, the prediction for this afternoon is for a 4' high.
If anyone else has any additional info, please pass it on!

see u guys at 5.

Just checked the Westham site. Its saying 4.7 for 8 pm and cresting at 5.2 at 2 am then dropping rapidly. Is there a better predictor than Westham?

Pretty much looks like paddles today and tomorrow at 5 will be about the same level. Don't think anyone will be able to hit it at 5' unless they do an early morning tuesday paddle.

I can't paddle tomorrow...so I'll be there at 5pm today. 4.7 is better than 3.4.

Has there been another change??? Or are we all looking at different websites?

Currently, the forecast is for a 5.2ft crest @ 0600 (6am) Tuesday morning. Just sayin '.

Okay, just checked again, and there has been an update as of 9:30am. I guess the way things are going right now, im just going to watch the gauge till about 2pm and then decide if what day to paddle!!

Let's keep each other Abreast of the predictions as the day goes on!

What are u sayin'??

Im looking at thius website-

Tuesday may not work for the Bull and I so we're gonna go today. Gotta say Im skeptical though cause the river was still really low at 7 this morning on my walk with the dog down at Pony Pasture.

Think I'm out now. Father in law is having surgery again today, (he had one yesterday). Tomo is my bday, so I'll talk to the wifey tonight and see if she will let me out for a bit. Levels to look better for tomorrow though keith. slow rising today.

i say we wait and see...it is hard to believe it is going to bump that much today...did we get that much rain??? where's it coming from? amy

Well Amy, I'm not weather guy with a bad toupee, but I think rain comes from the sky. Air can only hold a certain amount of water, when there is a sudden drop in temperature, the water vapor turns in liquid and falls to the earth. Think someone told me about that once in school or something.
