Increased run-off from snow melt due to warmer weather, coupled with a storm forecast for this weekend, could result in releases between 5,000 and 10,000 cfs out of Bartlett Lake this weekend. Already, the Verde River watershed is at more than 184-percent precipitation for the year; Bartlett Lake is at 83-percent full. The flows would likely begin Sunday night, move through Granite Reef Dam and into the Lower Salt River early Monday morning. The flows in the Lower Salt River could continue for several days depending on the amount of snow melt. With these likely releases, please be aware of your location and do not cross flooded roadways. At this time, the Roosevelt system has plenty of water storage capacity. source/full article: fishazblog.com/2017/02/10/high-flows-from-Bartlett-lake-likely-this-weekend/
