Here's a follow-up email from a fellow hydrologist:
"lets see if the predictions hold with the low p in the g! but with geoff putting "this system is not a threat to the District" out there i'm guessing it looks pretty good that the dry season is upon us and probability of future wet season type events is low.
stay cool my friend if you must go into the swamp remember to have an extra pair of dry shoes and treat for yourself once you safely emerge.
be well!"
