It's mostly driven by the water level of the Fraser. This graph is from today's readings at Whonnock which is the closest gauge.

the wiggles represent tidal effects but you can see average level has dropped a meter or more in the last 10 days.

It's definitely on the drop, but still very high. Not sure what it looks like up top, these are just my observations from the highway.
