Trend for the next 2 days in all basins will be for relatively steady 

  streamflows, except along channels affected by spotty thunderstorm activity

  upstream, which can cause rapid and severe rises in streamflow particularly

  in channels with low antecedent baseflow conditions.

Fontenelle                         M
