How these estimates work
The current level converts the latest Thurmond flow to the Fayette Station scale using the National Park Service table. The outlook adds Bluestone Dam outflow to Greenbrier flow, then uses the same table. It assumes about 12 hours of travel.
These are simplified estimates. They do not predict additional rainfall, tributary inflows or future changes to dam releases.
