State officials have reopened the damaged spillway at Oroville Dam as another set of rainstorms began moving across Northern California. Water resumed gushing through the partly collapsed concrete chute Friday morning, said Kristyne Van Skike, who is on the state Department of Water Resources team that’s managing the spillway. Even with more rain in the weather forecast, Van Skike said there was no threat to public safety. The National Weather Service expects showers on and off through Thursday in the Oroville area, but not a large amount of total rainfall. “It looks like the rest of the systems are relatively weak,” said weather service forecaster Karl Swanberg.
