(Sacramento, CA) — Northern California’s big reservoirs are in much better shape than at this time last year as another rainy season nears. That’s thanks to the series of atmospheric river storms last winter and spring, and the melted Sierra snowpack.

As of Tuesday, Lake Shasta is at 76-percent capacity and 129-percent of its historical average. Lake Oroville is at 79-percent capacity and 138-percent of its historical average. And, Folsom Lake is 72-percent full and at 135-percent of its historical average.

At this time last year, the trio of reservoirs were at just 25 to 32-percent capacity.
