The not-quite-official 24-hour weekend rainfall totals were nearly double the amount of precipitation that has been received so far this year, according to the National Weather Service.
Higher elevations, such as the coastal ranges and North Bay hills, received 1 to 2.25 inches of rain.
An unsettled weather pattern is expected this week, with a chance of rain late Monday into Tuesday and rain more likely later in the week.
Don’t worry, Gavin will have it emptied into the ocean so he can scream “Drought!”
Biden’s climate change efforts are working!
To be clear: in this CALENDAR year this past storm provided more water than the months of Jan-April, but we measure water in this state by WATER years, which run from October 1 through September 30. In April we added about 12% to the yearly total, which is currently sitting at not quite 80% of what is normal for this date in the water year, or at 70-75% of a full water year.
We’re still short, and by a significant amount… given we’re at the tail end of the rainy season.

Stop building as that should help right off. But then Biden and Newsolini Shumer, Pelosi and all the wokez/greenies will have less to complain about.
