Rain likely today, clear skies return for Columbus Day.

Light rain is likely through today with a 69% chance, but tomorrow looks mostly cloudy and quiet — could be worth planning around. Right now the river is sitting at 55.4°F and cooling, flow steady at 78.7 cfs, and turbidity at 12.4 FNU. Kings and browns are both building, though conditions aren't textbook; dissolved oxygen is at 6.6 mg/L, which is workable but not exceptional.
