The past weekend has witnessed a rain system that came through Southern California and other parts of the state. It moved through, but did not leave much water on the ground.
Based on several experts, the majority of parts of the state of California are already experiencing drought conditions and it has a high possibility of continuing to worsen. On Sunday, it is very possible to miss the rain or only drizzle in some parts of the state. Places like Santa Rosa in the Bay Area were expecting half an inch of rain. Also, Assistant Santa Rosa Fire Marshall Paul Lowenthal shared that luckily it rained, but in reality, the state ended up with quite a bit less rain. Lowenthal also added that they are anticipating a potentially long dry summer.
