‘A potentially significant and very likely warm atmospheric river event’ is set to hit California later this week, forecasters say.Both can exacerbate the potential for runoff and erosion.of the Oroville Dam in 2017, when heavy rains damaged an emergency spillway and threatened to send floodwaters down to communities below.
“This is a relatively small release out of the spillway, and as we look further into the forecast, with the possibility of additional storms, we will be adjusting releases from the lake,” Craddock said.As yet another atmospheric river barrels toward California, residents brace for the threat of engorged rivers and overtopped reservoirs.

The state has seen a spate of roof collapses from heavy snow, including a grocery store providing critical supplies in Crestline.
