= Rising.  Rising is defined here by the lake levels increasing consistently during the past eight hours.

= Falling.  Falling is defined here by the lake levels decreasing consistently during the past eight hours.

cfs = cubic feet per second, which is the amount of water that flows through the dams. 

All water temperatures are recorded at the surface.  A special thanks to Murray State's Hancock Biological Station for supplying real-time water data on their website and giving us permission to use this data.  Water temperatures elsewhere are provided by the National Weather Service and the US Army Corps of Engineers.  Normal water temperatures is solely based off of archived fishing reports and normal air temperatures for this area.

Lake Elevations are based on sea-level elevations.  Strength of Current is based on the discharge rate at the dams.
