The Mad is high and muddy after peaking at 10.8 feet Wednesday. It’s dropping quickly Thursday as flows were down to 2,500 cfs (9.0 ft.). It’s predicted to get down to 7.5 feet by Sunday and the color could come around by Sunday or Monday. For current river conditions, visit https://cdec.water.ca.gov/river/madStages.html
