High temps in the park

http://www.weather.com/weather/5-day/USCA1269

looking at those high temps I had a few questions regarding the river level that you see on:
http://ca.water.usgs.gov/webcams/happyisles/

I check out the graph and I see it going up and down for day and night obviously but I was wondering how long does it take for the river to reflect the peak temperature? that is, how long after it hits the hottest point of the day does the river reflect the peak? 20min? 30? 2 hours?

and on a side note.. . . .does anyone have any update on the conditions leading up to Ostrander Lake and over to Buena Vista Lake/Peak? Snow wise

The flow at Happy Isles from the daily snowmelt peaks at around 3-4 AM:
