Oroville weather forecast, National Weather Service. Moving the map one can find rain and snow forecasts for the surrounding mountains that drain into the lake. Lots and lots of rain coming. So the rain coming just to Oroville lake isn’t the problem really, it’s all the rain coming from all over that will drain into the lake.
