Current Status
Last Updated: December 04, 2025
As of December 03, 2025, the Flaming Gorge Reservoir pool elevation is 6022.49 feet, which amounts to 82 percent of live storage capacity. Inflows for the month of November totaled approximately 41,916 acre-feet (af) or 85 percent of average.Flaming Gorge Dam operations are in a moderately dry hydrologic classification for the month of December and are projected to remain in the moderately dry hydrologic classification through the remainder of the base flow period. The current average daily release is 800 cfs but may vary to meet the 1,100-1,500 cfs target in Reach 2, measured at the Jensen USGS Gage. This data is considered the most likely scenario given the current forecast, is general, and is subject to changing conditions.
The December unregulated inflow forecast into Flaming Gorge for the next three months projects below average conditions. December, January, and February forecasted unregulated inflow volumes are 28,000 af (85 percent of average), 30,000 af (74 percent of average), and 34,000 af (75 percent of average), respectively.
