LCRA has closed ALL the Highland Lakes. That's Buchanan, Inks, LBJ, Marble Falls and Travis.

Travis came up 10 feet in 12 hours and is 15 feet below full pool and they are expecting it to be full within 24 hours. This is according to the report on KXAN just moments ago.

Travis expected to hit 675' later today and that's from rain that's already hit the ground - doesn't count what's coming the rest of the week. Could be full by tomorrow. I'm seeing where 675' has been revised to now be 690-695'!

So now the question is what do you do when Lake Travis starts to flood homes. This could get ugly.

Lots of fish being re-located . Hopefully many of the grass carp in Lake Austin will be flushed out and down the Colorado River. Good riddance.

Is it out of the realm of possibility for it to come up another 20 feet to the emergency spillway level? I don't see how they can stop it without flooding Austin.

New precipitation amounts between a quarter and half of an inch possible. Wednesday Showers. The rain could be heavy at times. High near 52. North wind around 10 mph. Chance of precipitation is 100%. New precipitation amounts between a tenth and quarter of an inch possible. Wednesday Night Showers likely, mainly before 8pm. Cloudy, with a low around 49. North northeast wind around 10 mph. Chance of precipitation is 60%. Thursday Showers, mainly after 8am. High near 57. Northeast wind around 10 mph. Chance of precipitation is 100%. Thursday Night Showers. Low around 52. North northeast wind 5 to 10 mph. Chance of precipitation is 100%. Friday Showers. High near 62. North wind 5 to 10 mph. Chance of precipitation is 80%. Friday Night Showers likely, mainly before 8pm. Cloudy, with a low around 55. North wind around 5 mph. Chance of precipitation is 60%.

Mansfield Dam spillway is at 714 ft. Flood waters have never to date gone over the Mansfield spillway. Currently the plan is for 4 floodgates to be opened by this evening. Note that Mansfield Dam has a total of 24 floodgates that could be opened if needed. https://www.lcra.org/water/water-supply/...nsfield-dam.pdf
