The National Weather Service (NWS) said while California is slightly better off than at the same time last year when it comes to ending the drought, “that won’t mean much if we don’t continue to get storms throughout the wet season.”
At this time last year, a couple early storms had California’s snowpack looking healthy “followed by a long dry period that put us back well below normal. Good individual storms aren’t what gets you out of a drought. You need a good season.”
The NWS said there’s a 50 percent to 75 percent chance of rain in the Bay Area on Thursday heading into Friday, with the best chances in the North Bay and coastal regions.
Don’t worry. Gavin and his buddies will let it all out into the Pacific Ocean and then scream about the 2023 drought.
Consistent rain is needed to end the drought, huh? How many advanced degrees does it take for the NWS experts to conclude that?
Let’s see now. Last October we had storms that dropped 5 inches of rain and so far I have received 1 inch. These “storms” we have been receiving are mostly just a front that sweeps through quickly dropping very little rain. What is needed are multi day storms dropping inches at a time and multi feet of snow. It will take years to get us out of this drought.
