    Even though they are still releasing a ton of water down the eroded spillway, Lake Oroville is now at 80% capacity (up from 79% yesterday) due to heavy rains throughout Northern California. Upstream reservoirs are also continuing to rise as water is withheld behind the dams… Antelope Lake is now at 110% capacity!

    Though the extended still looks wetter than normal, temperatures will be cool, with snow levels around 4,000 feet. This will alleviate immediate flooding concerns but add to concerns throughout the spring as all this snow melts and drains into the reservoirs.
