BIG FEBRUARY BOOSTS CALIFORNIA, NORTH BAY PRECIPITATION TOTALS

California’s wet February is paying off in full reservoirs and most of the state now running at or above normal in total precipitation for the water year.

Here in the North Bay, most reporting stations have surged this month, and are now slightly above normal for the date.

Here are the totals for the water year.

Rainfall in the last 7 days has helped to boost water year rainfall to over 100 percent of normal in many areas.

Up in the Sierra, most stations are still slightly below normal but have recovered tremendously since the start of February.

WATER SUPPLY SURGES ACROSS THE STATE AFTER WET FEBRUARY

Overall, water storage in the state’s reservoirs is running ahead of historical averages for the date (green numbers). A very good set up for the rest of the year.

Lake Sonoma is at 116% percent of normal for the date.

FORECAST: MORE TO COME

After a quick moving and minor system this Sunday or Monday (the 25th or 26th), we should enjoy a brief break from the wet weather.

But by Friday March 1st a parade of storms may resume across Northern California, with a deep low pressure system bringing colder storms from the north.
