Projected flow releases from Roanoke Rapids Dam for today and the next two days are:

The water flow released from the Roanoke Rapids Dam is significantly affected by the station's operational mode. Check out the various modes.
Water flow is measured in cubic feet per second (cfs).
m - midnight, n - noon
Current and historic flow release data can be obtained from the U.S. Geological Survey and U.S. Army Corps of Engineers. Data is measured by the U.S. Geological Survey gaging station located 2.8 miles downstream of the Roanoke Rapids Dam.
A recording of lake levels and dam release schedules is available at (252) 535-6883. The recording is updated daily by 8:00 AM.
