Heading to Russian River this Mother’s Day weekend? Officials say be cautious of high water levels
Temperatures are expected to rise this Mother’s Day weekend, and Sonoma County officials are urging caution as they expect swells along the Sonoma Coast. They say along the Russian River, water flows are now faster than what we usually see in the summer due to our recent wet weather. Pure beauty in Guerneville but don’t be fooled this weekend – the Russian River is flowing. “Way faster current and a lot more water,” said Andrew Liput with Johnson’s Beach Rentals. The river’s flow rate at the Hacienda Bridge is 450% higher than just a year ago, according to the county.
