Read every post from JFRCALIFORNIA in this thread. He’s put together some great research on historical inflow data.

Lake Level Projections... June 2019 best guess

Just an update and perspective on the slow lake level rise and what we can expect ahead (don't read on unless you want a number headache). As of June 3, the lake was at 3585.94, which is a pretty good recovery so far from its low point of about 3568 on April 10—just about 18 feet. But some...

2 feet rise per day is coming
