No rain is predicted for the weekend.

No new sewage spills have been reported. in the Suwannee River Basin in Georgia or Florida.

Or join us at the Florida Folk Festival, at Stephen Foster Folk Culture Center State Park, White Springs, Florida, on the banks of the Suwannee River.

The most recent results we have from Valdosta are for Wednesday upstream and for Monday of last week downstream.

For this Monday, Valdosta got bad results for US 41 and GA 133, after rains before then. But Valdosta’s Wednesday results for those locations were good. As was WWALS result for US 41 for Thursday.
