Projects show that April and May inflow volumes will continue at about 250 percent of average. The unregulated inflow volume forecast into Flaming Gorge through July is 2.26 million acre-feet with current snowpack remaining above 170 percent of average and additional storms adding to the season peak for the Upper Green Basin.
