Rising lake

Thanks to storm runoff and the Llano and Pedernales rivers:

 "With the recent rains, LCRA hydrologists are forecasting Lake Travis to rise to an elevation of about 662 to 664 feet above mean sea level (msl) by this weekend. That is about 8.5 to 10.5 feet above where the lake’s level was when rain began falling late Sunday. At 10:30 a.m. Tuesday, Lake Travis had already risen by more than 4 feet to an elevation of 657.82 feet msl, which is still more than 13 feet below its average elevation for March. The last time Lake Travis was this high was in June 2006."

Now we’re into the range where we need to be for LT’s recovery, except June 2006 was mighty low. Still need another 10 to 20 feet to get back to near-normal.
