Most large (1 MM AF) reservoirs are down 1-3% of capacity from five weeks ago. San Luis was down considerably. New Melones, Diamond Valley, Lake San Antonio are up a bit. The smaller reservoirs have reduced capacity as we move into the rain and snow season.
Pacific Northwest atmospheric river is moving into Northern California. Doesn't look like it will reach the SFBA, but will result in some snow in the northeast part of the state.
