The level of the San Joaquin River at the Airport Way bridge has risen 3 feet in the last three days as dam operators scramble to make room in Don Pedro Reservoir for a surge in snowmelt. Overall, the watersheds that flow into the Northern San Joaquin Valley and ultimately pass Airport Way as water moves to the Delta could see 160 inches of snow, the accompanying foothills up to 11 inches of rain, and the valley floor up to 5 inches of rain between now and Tuesday from two back-to-back systems.
