I was looking at the UYF webcam today and couldn't help think that the flow appears weaker than it normally is during this time of year. Is peak flow still a few weeks away?

The Central Sierra snowpack is at 34% of normal this year and the gage height/discharge graphs of the Merced River look like they already peaked to me.

Was once told that the entire drainage area for Yosemite Falls is only approx. 56 square miles. With this years meager snowfall amounts, unless some big storms come through in the near future... the high water mark for 2021 has already been passed, weeks earlier.
Also explains why the big falls go dry come summer.
