Geneva Pool Conditions

Fox River between the St. Charles and Geneva dams, with modeled discharge referenced at Geneva Dam.

Modeled River Evidence

Geneva Dam discharge is provisional and unvalidated

No continuous discharge gauge represents Geneva Pool. River flow is modeled from observed Fox River and tributary inputs using fox_corridor_transfer_v1. The transfer model is validated only at the Montgomery endpoint; the Geneva transformation and Geneva seasonal baseline are not independently validated. No Geneva-specific operational flow thresholds are applied.

Next 3 Hours NO-GO
Next 24 Hours GO Stable
Confidence: Medium Water: Normal Weather: Clear

The next three hours fall outside daylight hours.

The current NWS hourly forecast period is non-daylight, so the short-horizon operational result is NO GO. No material operational river limitation is currently identified.

About These Conditions

Weather uses National Weather Service evidence. River discharge and its seasonal position are modeled evidence with a confidence ceiling of Medium. This page does not infer local stage, depth, velocity, dam hydraulics, or backwater conditions.
