The Sheriff's Office said the 400 CFS flow will remain through the holiday weekend, but will begin to increase at 7 p.m. Monday back up to 1,100.

However, because additional rainfall could change the forecast, the inflows into Canyon Lake will be assessed and some possible adjustments to flood releases will be made.

The area remains under a flash flood watch until 6 a.m. Friday.
