long range models continue to hint at a long cool dry spell after starting in about 6 days....

The key remains the main spillway

so far so good

While Southern Californians will be seeing the bulk of their rain before the end of the weekend, those in Northern California can expect heavier rain late Sunday and into Monday.

The weather brings more worries for communities south of the heavily damaged Oroville Dam. Rainfall continuing over the next seven days could total more than 12 inches.

I speculate that part of the reasoning for reducing the spillway release to dredge and get the power plant back up was because they want that extra 15k CFS come Monday... I worry that it will be wasted as a blockage likely rebuilds in short order.
