Not sure if this has been posted before... Some interesting calculations using past DWR Oroville inflow and rainfall data to predict lake level given sustained precip rates. Straightforward from a data stance with the possible errors due to variations in ground saturation and snow levels/melt. Interesting nonetheless:

.Synopsis... Wet weather returns with several storm system passages expected through next week. Sierra mountain travel issues at times. Gusty winds Friday and Monday. Increased flood threat Monday.

. Discussion (Tonight through Sunday)... A short break in rain this evening with more rain expected to move into the region late tonight and Friday morning. [] As the low moves closer to the coast rain will spread from a southerly direction to a northerly direction during the day. Most of the rain will occur Friday and Friday night with the rain tapering to showers by Saturday morning. Snow levels look fairly high with this system on Friday near 7000 feet during most of the day and at least into the early evening before lowering to near 5000 feet later at night. (EMPHASIS ADDED)

There will be a chance for some showers Saturday and Sunday ahead of the next round of rain []. Winds will be much stronger and widespread with heavy rainfall amounts for the foothills and mountains than compared with the Friday system.
