Streamflow Situation from the network of USGS streamflow gauges in Louisiana
Streamflows run a mix of normal to much below seasonal normal again on Tuesday, lower flows again appearing through northeast Region 3 watershed, central Region 5 watershed and east Region 7 watershed. Low flow volume continues in Bayou Macon coming out of Arkansas, this limiting the downstream flow to the Tensas River. The drought map has completely cleared today, it is possible there is a glitch as streamflows have not been elevated to relieve drought conditions. Provisional data is subject to confirmation, pending response from USGS. No flooding or high flows, no extreme low flows recorded as of this report.
WT HAB Tracker from the satellite monitoring program of National Centers for Coastal Ocean Science (NCCOS)
The latest image of Lake Pontchartrain and the southeast water bodies is dated Sep 30, a partially cloud obscured view of the southeast water bodies taken at wind speed 4.3 mph. HAB activity is widespread in Lake Pontchartrain midlake, low concentration 75 thousand cells per ml. Lake Maurepas is mostly cloud obscured, no HAB activity noted in the open water in the north. Lac des Allemands appears with a large localized HAB on the east shore, 100 thousand cells per ml. Bayou Fortier is cloud obscured. Lake Cataouache and Lake Salvador are cloud obscured, no HAB activity noted in the prior image Sep 29. Lakes Verret and Palourde are completely cloud obscured. The previous image showed Lake Verret widespread HAB in the south of the water body at high concentration 800 thousand to 1 million cells per ml. Lake Palourde widespread HABs has settled into the north half of the water body matching concentration color scale for 800 thousand cells per ml. Black Bay widespread HAB is visible in the Sep 30 image, high concentration 900 thousand cells per ml. See the latest satellite image of southeast LA water bodies, here.
