High Water Level at Bay Area Reservoir Ahead of Forecast Atmospheric River

Water was seen flowing down a spillway at the Peters Dam at Kent Lake in Marin County, California, ahead of a forecast atmospheric river on Monday, March 13.

Footage recorded on Saturday by @BiodiversityDad shows water flowing down the dam spillway on the northern side of Kent Lake. He said water in the nearby San Geronimo Creek was “quite high”.

The National Weather Service in the Bay Area urged residents to finish preparations for an atmospheric river, forecast to arrive late on Monday. Heavy rain, flooding, and high winds were expected in the area. Credit: @BiodiversityDad via Storyful
