Update 7 pm: The increase in water on the road between 8:30 this morning and after lunch today was likely due to the rising tide. The 3pm update showed very little difference between 12 and 3 today. Water discharge is still at about 4100 cms. 

River levels reached 4200 cms by midnight last night and dropped to just under 4100 cms by noon today. It may rise again to about 4500-4600 cms by midnight tonight suggesting that we will have a small amount of water across the road sometime this evening.

The weather forecast no longer shows cloudy days for the next few days and so the water may still climb again tomorrow but as we are running out of snow to melt at lower elevations it is still unlikely to stay very high for very long.

Our projections are the river will crest either today or tomorrow and will cross the road with less water and for a shorter time than it did in 2007. There is less snow to melt than ther was in 2007 suggesting it will peak sooner and last a shorter amount of time....

There is one additional factor that is not present this year that was in 2007. At this time in 2007 there were 23ft tides complicating river levels by raising it at least 2 ft higher (over sea level) than it will this year.
