Looks like they have things stabilized for now. Water is no longer overtopping the emergency spillway. They need to drop the level another 50' over the next few days to do emergency repairs to the spillway and prepare for the next round of pineapple express. 4-5 more inches of warm rain are expected to begin Wednesday and run through the week.

Lake Shasta is also near capacity and dumping water as fast as possible in preparation for more heavy rain. The Sacramento river is at flood stage due to maximum release from Shasta dam. I expect the Sacramento delta will be overrun soon if not already from all this water release. Exciting times for Nor Cal right now with way more water than we can capture and store. We need temps to drop 20 degrees to put this into more manageable snowpack instead of deluge runoff.
