Lake Travis rises above full at 681.4 feet, with a little more rise expected
Lake Travis is now above full. The Lower Colorado River Authority listed the lake at 681.39 feet above mean sea level at 7:15 a.m. Thursday, a bit over the 681-foot mark LCRA considers full for water supply. LCRA lists the lake at 101% full, and it was at 681.18 feet Wednesday evening as Llano River floodwater kept arriving from upstream.
LCRA's Thursday morning forecast calls for Lake Travis to reach between 681.5 and 682.5 feet over the next 24 to 48 hours. Anything above 681 feet sits in the lake's flood storage pool, which holds extra water to protect communities downstream.
As of 6 a.m. Thursday, LCRA says no floodgate operations are expected at any of the Highland Lakes dams, including Mansfield Dam on Lake Travis. The upstream gates at Wirtz and Starcke dams that were passing floodwater earlier this week are no longer expected to operate. With the lake this high, boaters should watch for floating debris and submerged hazards near the shoreline, and dock owners should check lines, cables and ramps.
