At least part of the problem is because the dam outflow has been at minimal levels for the last two weeks of October, probably to allow some scheduled work downstream. It's been fairly wet recently so water in but little water out. Dam outflow was increased as November started and is now at 1000 CFS which is the highest it has been since at least early July when Bizer shows it was at 621 CFS and then dropped into the 200's CFS until now. The 1000 CFS is enough to drop the level an inch every couple days, not counting new inflow from rain. That could take about 3 weeks to drop the lake about a foot, again not accounting for new rainfall.
