Generous 0.98" of rain at Sacramento Executive Airport during the last day. Two more storms are forecast to sweep through this week, with clearing next week, and slipping back into the rain the week after that.
El Niño appears to have peaked right at the start of the year, so during the year the equatorial Pacific will slowly get back to normal. Waters off of California have cooled somewhat, but not enough to prevent that Really Resilient Ridge from popping up sporadically like an unwelcome Zombie. Living in Cali means accepting the ever-present threat of drought.
The recent storms have affected Southern California very little. If this continues, an even bigger gap will open up water-wise between NorCal and SoCal than usual. Not good. The storms coming in near the end of the month may extend down south, but we'll see.
