We just got 1.5 inches of rain in Center Harbor (0.8 at the Weirs) on Wednesday and a bit more is due on Sunday. That should help a bit. The Weirs lake level has gone up 2.6 inches in the last week to 504.0 feet and not all the runoff from Wednesday has reached the lake yet.
I'm not saying we aren't in an overall water deficit. The Lakeport dam is still running at a low 250 CFS. However, we are only about 3.6 inches below full lake (summer levels). Another good rain in the few weeks could top us off.
Another solid rain after that could have people worrying about No Wake restrictions on the lake.
