History
What this means
Los Angeles R A Sepulveda Dam is above normal at 0.74 ft.
It has risen 0.13 ft over the past 24 hours. If the rise continues, low-lying paths and riverside parking can go under water. In the last month it has stayed between 0.57 ft and 0.80 ft.
That stands out in fall, when many rivers are usually near their lowest.
Compared with 5 years of daily readings for this time of year. How to read levels
