USGS 08045800 — Lk Weatherford nr Weatherford, TX
Extrapolated from the past 60 days
Storage rose over the past 60 days, gaining about 3 acre-feet per day.
A straight-line extrapolation, not a forecast. It assumes the recent rate continues unchanged, ignoring seasonality, rainfall and managed releases — and drawdown normally slows as a reservoir falls. Treat it as a severity signal, not a date.
US Drought Monitor for Parker County, Oct 20, 2026
Conditions in the county containing the dam. A reservoir is filled by a watershed that often reaches well beyond one county, and releases are managed, so local drought is context rather than an explanation of the level.
Nearest gaged reaches above and below the dam
How today compares with 28 years of record for this date
At 59%, Lake Weatherford is below normal for this date, lower than 85% of years on record. It was last this low in 2023.
Percentiles pool the ±3 days around today across every year on record, so “normal” means normal for this time of year. Conservation capacity is re-surveyed over time, so percent-full comparisons across decades are close but not exact.
