State officials are warning those planning outings on the state's numerous streams, rivers and reservoirs or in the California Delta, to practice extreme caution.

The near record March and April precipitation this year has

left the state with a snow pack that is 190 percent of normal for this time of year. Additionally, below normal temperatures have delayed the snow melt by nearly one month. Now the snow pack is "ripe"

and ready to release its water to the rivers, lakes and reservoirs downstream, when recreationists will want to cool off in local waterways.
