Runoff into the Missouri River's upper basin continues at levels well above average. Water releases from Gavins Point Dam remain above average, too, and will continue to be so for much of November.
Even winter releases from the dam will be higher than normal.
By keeping those releases high, the Missouri River Mainstem System of six dams and reservoirs should be able to evacuate all of 2018's runoff and begin the 2019 spring runoff season on March 1 with all of its flood storage capacity available, U.S. Army Corps of Engineers officials said at a public meeting Wednesday afternoon.
