Weather in the Mono basin is irrelevant to conditions in the Feather River canyon. California, it turns out, is a large state with multiple distinct climate zones. As you note, it is the length of the summer drought which is increasing. This is not even contradictory with increasing or stable annual precipitation. It just means more of the water is coming in a shorter, rainier season.
