OK, so the peak flow from the release will be Tuesday, not Wednesday. Thank you for the update. Now we just have to see what the weather does.

Personally I'm thinking 6 down Tuesday afternoon, Browns Wednesday and maybe Granite and/or Numbers Thanksgiving.

I think the day to be there is before noon on Wednesday. I read that as they don't start to drop it back down until 13:00 on Thursday.
