HYDROLOGIST FORECAST DISCUSSION
SOUTHEAST RIVER FORECAST CENTER / ATLANTA, GA
1237 PM EST MON FEB 08 2010 

ATTENTION/ AREA AFFECTED WFO: ALR CHS 

FORECAST DISCUSSION FOR THE SANTEE BASIN: 

... JAMESTOWN STAGES EXPECTED TO REMAIN MODERATE ...

ANOTHER FLOOD CREST IS ABOUT TO BE
FLOWING INTO LAKE MARION.
BOTH THE CONGAREE AND WATEREE RIVERS ARE 
CONTRIBUTING TO THIS NEXT CREST.
THE POOL LEVELS OF LAKE MARION HAVE BEEN FALLING
DURING THE LAST FIVE DAYS, CREATING AVAILABLE
STORAGE VOLUME IN THE LAKE.
REDUCED OUTFLOWS FROM THE LAKE INTO THE
SANTEE RIVER ALLOWED THE STAGES AT JAMESTOWN
TO FALL A LITTLE LAST WEEK. 
INCREASED DISCHARGES INTO THE SANTEE RIVER
ARE EXPECTED, BUT SHOULD BE MODERATE ENOUGH TO 
KEEP JAMESTOWN BELOW MAJOR FLOOD LEVELS
WHICH BEGIN AT 18 FEET.
