LAKE COUNTY, Calif. — This month’s storms have pushed Clear Lake into the “full” range.
The lake is considered full at 7.56 feet Rumsey, the special measure for Clear Lake.
It topped that measure just after 10 p.m. Monday, according to the United States Geological Survey’s gauge on Clear Lake at Lakeport.
The USGS measurements show the lake rose to 7.90 feet Rumsey shortly after 2 a.m. Tuesday.
The lake reaches the “action” stage at 8 feet Rumsey and flood stage at 9 feet Rumsey, the USGS reported.
Last year, it took the lake until March 14 to reach the full level, and from there it topped out at 8.38 feet Rumsey on March 21 before receding.
