Lake Travis

As a result of the heavy rains last week in the Austin area, the Lake Travis levels have risen six feet. Currently, the lake’s level is just over 642 feet, with more rain already coming today.

It is still, however, 24 feet lower than average, and 39 feet lower than completely full. “El Nino should bring us more rain between now and the spring,” says LCRA Supervisor David Walker, “we’d need ten more floods like this one to do the trick.” The National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration’s 2009 Winter Outlook and Climate Predictions expect El Nino to dominate weather patterns, bringing a cooler winter and above average precipitation for Texas, by an increase of 40%.
