Early returns show potential for wet rain year in Northern California
A late fall storm that soaked the North State and brought high wind gust is padding rain totals for what has been a wet start to Northern California’s water year. … November is typically the month when Lake Shasta, the state’s largest manmade reservoir, drops to its lowest level for the year. But the lake’s level is trending higher so far this year. Lake Shasta is at 106% of the historical average and 57% full, the California Department of Water Resources said. Trinity Lake was 71% full, which is 123% of the historical average.
