The storm dumped heavy rain and snow on the Sierra. That triggered massive flows in the American River and its tributaries, and has led to a rapid rise in Folsom Lake. Still, Folsom is at just 25 percent of capacity and less than half its average level for early February. (Justin Sullivan/Getty)\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\u003c/div>",

(Justin Sullivan/Getty Images) \u003ccite>((Justin Sullivan/Getty Images)\u003c/cite>\u003c/figcaption>\u003c/figure>\n\u003cp>Anyone who dares discuss our weather, climate or California's drought seems to take it as a moral duty to remind everyone that, despite anything you might have seen or heard during the storm of the past few days, we've still got a major water problem on our hands.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Craig Miller, an editor in our KQED Science unit, talked about the storm's impact with Jeff Mount, co-founder of the Center for Watershed Studies at UC Davis. The question, as Craig put it, was: \"So, was this a 'February Miracle?' \"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>And the answer, according to Mount, is, \"Not even close.\" He pointed to the fact that the rich plume of tropical moisture that brought heavy rain to Northern California (also known as an \u003ca href=\"http://www.esrl.noaa.gov/psd/atmrivers/\" target=\"_blank\">atmospheric river\u003c/a> or \u003ca href=\"http://www.wunderground.com/blog/JeffMasters/pineapple-express-bringing-significant-rains-to-droughtstricken-calif\" target=\"_blank\">Pineapple Express\u003c/a>) had a relatively narrow impact.\u003c/p>\n\u003caside class=\"pullquote alignleft\">'We would like to have the next series of storms directed our way, if you can manage that.'\u003ccite>Marty Grimes,\u003cbr>\nSanta Clara Valley Water District\u003c/cite> \u003c/aside>\n\u003cp>\"This atmospheric river kind of sat in one spot and hosed one part of the state,\" Mount said. \"We're in a statewide drought, and so this did basically nothing to relieve anything basically south of Sacramento.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The moisture was focused on the North Bay, across the lower part of the Sacramento Valley and into the American River watershed. The storm dumped heavy rain and snow on the Sierra, and that triggered massive flows in the American and its tributaries and has led to a rapid rise in \u003ca href=\"http://cdec.water.ca.gov/cgi-progs/queryDaily?s=FOL\" target=\"_blank\">Folsom Lake\u003c/a>. As of Monday evening, the lake has risen nearly 20 feet since last Wednesday, while storage has increased by 50 percent, from 162,000 to 243,000 acre-feet. Still, Folsom is at just 25 percent of capacity and less than half its average level for early February.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[ad fullwidth]\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Lake Oroville, the main storage facility for the State Water Project and the state's second-biggest reservoir, has seen an increase of 70,000 acre-feet in the last few days. It's still far below normal levels. The state's other major reservoirs saw less impressive gains.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>Guarded optimism and outright dejection\u003c/strong>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>So, how you see the last few days depends largely on where you happen to be. Reactions from water agency officials Monday ranged from guarded optimism north of San Francisco Bay, where some areas got a deluge, to outright dejection in the South Bay — an area that was merely brushed by the storm.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The most attention-getting single statistic from the weekend's rain: the 23.51 inches that fell on Mount Tamalpais in Marin County from Wednesday afternoon through Sunday night. That's a mind-boggling total, and more so when you compare it to the amount of precipitation that falls in nearby locations like San Francisco, where the average \u003cem>annual\u003c/em> rainfall is just under 21 inches.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>That big rain total hints at how Mount Tam is different from the surrounding lowlands. With the right set of conditions, the half-mile-high mountain acts like a sail, catching rain-bearing storm winds coming in from the Pacific. And when those winds are loaded with water, as they were this weekend, lots and lots of rain can fall. That combination of factors makes Mount Tam the key to Marin County's year-round water supply. The Marin Municipal Water District's seven reservoirs all depend on streams that originate on the mountain's slopes.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Before last week, Mount Tam was about as dry as everywhere else in the Bay Area. In January, the mountain's Middle Peak weather station recorded .06 of an inch of precipitation — the same amount of non-rain that fell on downtown San Francisco for the month. The prolonged dry spell, dating back to the beginning of January 2013, meant the Marin district's reservoirs have been dwindling at precisely the time of year they should be rising to brim-full. The district reported last week reservoir levels were down to 53 percent of capacity and 66 percent of normal for this time of year.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>And after the storm?\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Libby Pischel, public information officer for the MMWD, said 14.76 inches of rain fell at Lake Lagunitas on Mount Tam's north flank. As a result, reservoirs had climbed to \u003ca href=\"http://www.marinwater.org/documents/waterwatch140209.pdf\" target=\"_blank\">64 percent of capacity\u003c/a> on Monday, with runoff still flowing into the district's lakes. That's 76 percent of the normal level for this time of year.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The district has requested a 25 percent voluntary cut in water use from customers, and Pischel says the storm doesn't change that.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"Even though this was a very significant storm and gave us a very significant amount of rain, we do need to be cautious,\" Pischel said.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>She added that MMWD customers who haven't already shut off their landscape irrigation systems ought to do so now. \"With this rain, you don't need to irrigate,\" Pischel said. \"Since that's the No. 1 use of water, that will save a lot.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>A little relief for Willits\u003c/strong>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The storm also dumped heavy rain on Willits, a Mendocino County town of 5,000 that's one of 17 communities in the state with critically low water supplies. The city has imposed 35 percent mandatory consumption cuts on all water customers.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Adrienne Moore, the Willits city manager, said the town got 6.61 inches of rain since last Wednesday. That increased the city's water supply, she said, but the town's reservoirs are still at just 25 to 30 percent of capacity.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"It definitely was helpful, but it has not at all pulled us out of a drought yet,\" Moore said. \"We would need to have several similar storms like that to consider the drought a non-issue.\" She compared the 250 acre feet in water that flowed into Willits' reservoirs to \"pouring a cup of coffee into a 5-gallon bucket.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>As cautious as water managers sound north of the Golden Gate, at least they saw some meaningful improvement in water supplies over the weekend. That's not the case for the South Bay's biggest water agency, the Santa Clara Valley Water District.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>Waiting for the rain gauges to move\u003c/strong>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Most of the rain stayed well to the north of the valley and its reservoirs, and district spokesman Marty Grimes summarized the impact this way: \"Last Thursday, our local reservoir storage was 31.6 percent, and today it's 31.7 percent.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Grimes came across as so disappointed by those numbers that I asked, \"Are you as bummed out as you sound?\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>He laughed. \"I was looking at the rain gauges and reservoir gauges all weekend long, and I was waiting to see them respond,\" he said. \"And I was looking at that Doppler radar map with those nice red and orange waves (signifying heavy rain) going across the North Bay, and it just made me more and more dejected to see we weren't getting any in the South Bay, or very little.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The Santa Clara Valley district has asked users for a 10 percent voluntary cutback in water consumption. With the district heavily dependent on water supplies from the Sacramento-San Joaquin Delta that will be severely curtailed this year, he urged customers to consider steps like planting drought-tolerant plants. He also had a request.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"We would like to have the next series of storms directed our way, if you can manage that,\" he said.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[ad floatright]\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>At this point, it will be a wait for that next storm. The National Weather Service expects rain to stay well to the north of the central Bay Area for the rest of the week, with a slight chance of rain as far south as San Jose over the weekend.\u003c/p>\n\n",

The question, as Craig put it, was: \"So, was this a 'February Miracle?' \"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>And the answer, according to Mount, is, \"Not even close.\" He pointed to the fact that the rich plume of tropical moisture that brought heavy rain to Northern California (also known as an \u003ca href=\"http://www.esrl.noaa.gov/psd/atmrivers/\" target=\"_blank\">atmospheric river\u003c/a> or \u003ca href=\"http://www.wunderground.com/blog/JeffMasters/pineapple-express-bringing-significant-rains-to-droughtstricken-calif\" target=\"_blank\">Pineapple Express\u003c/a>) had a relatively narrow impact.\u003c/p>\n\u003caside class=\"pullquote alignleft\">'We would like to have the next series of storms directed our way, if you can manage that.'\u003ccite>Marty Grimes,\u003cbr>\nSanta Clara Valley Water District\u003c/cite> \u003c/aside>\n\u003cp>\"This atmospheric river kind of sat in one spot and hosed one part of the state,\" Mount said. \"We're in a statewide drought, and so this did basically nothing to relieve anything basically south of Sacramento.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The moisture was focused on the North Bay, across the lower part of the Sacramento Valley and into the American River watershed. The storm dumped heavy rain and snow on the Sierra, and that triggered massive flows in the American and its tributaries and has led to a rapid rise in \u003ca href=\"http://cdec.water.ca.gov/cgi-progs/queryDaily?s=FOL\" target=\"_blank\">Folsom Lake\u003c/a>. As of Monday evening, the lake has risen nearly 20 feet since last Wednesday, while storage has increased by 50 percent, from 162,000 to 243,000 acre-feet. Still, Folsom is at just 25 percent of capacity and less than half its average level for early February.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\u003c/div>",

It's still far below normal levels. The state's other major reservoirs saw less impressive gains.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>Guarded optimism and outright dejection\u003c/strong>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>So, how you see the last few days depends largely on where you happen to be. Reactions from water agency officials Monday ranged from guarded optimism north of San Francisco Bay, where some areas got a deluge, to outright dejection in the South Bay — an area that was merely brushed by the storm.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The most attention-getting single statistic from the weekend's rain: the 23.51 inches that fell on Mount Tamalpais in Marin County from Wednesday afternoon through Sunday night. That's a mind-boggling total, and more so when you compare it to the amount of precipitation that falls in nearby locations like San Francisco, where the average \u003cem>annual\u003c/em> rainfall is just under 21 inches.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>That big rain total hints at how Mount Tam is different from the surrounding lowlands. With the right set of conditions, the half-mile-high mountain acts like a sail, catching rain-bearing storm winds coming in from the Pacific. And when those winds are loaded with water, as they were this weekend, lots and lots of rain can fall. That combination of factors makes Mount Tam the key to Marin County's year-round water supply. The Marin Municipal Water District's seven reservoirs all depend on streams that originate on the mountain's slopes.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Before last week, Mount Tam was about as dry as everywhere else in the Bay Area. In January, the mountain's Middle Peak weather station recorded .06 of an inch of precipitation — the same amount of non-rain that fell on downtown San Francisco for the month. The prolonged dry spell, dating back to the beginning of January 2013, meant the Marin district's reservoirs have been dwindling at precisely the time of year they should be rising to brim-full. The district reported last week reservoir levels were down to 53 percent of capacity and 66 percent of normal for this time of year.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>And after the storm?\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Libby Pischel, public information officer for the MMWD, said 14.76 inches of rain fell at Lake Lagunitas on Mount Tam's north flank. As a result, reservoirs had climbed to \u003ca href=\"http://www.marinwater.org/documents/waterwatch140209.pdf\" target=\"_blank\">64 percent of capacity\u003c/a> on Monday, with runoff still flowing into the district's lakes. That's 76 percent of the normal level for this time of year.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The district has requested a 25 percent voluntary cut in water use from customers, and Pischel says the storm doesn't change that.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"Even though this was a very significant storm and gave us a very significant amount of rain, we do need to be cautious,\" Pischel said.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>She added that MMWD customers who haven't already shut off their landscape irrigation systems ought to do so now. \"With this rain, you don't need to irrigate,\" Pischel said. \"Since that's the No. 1 use of water, that will save a lot.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>A little relief for Willits\u003c/strong>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The storm also dumped heavy rain on Willits, a Mendocino County town of 5,000 that's one of 17 communities in the state with critically low water supplies. The city has imposed 35 percent mandatory consumption cuts on all water customers.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Adrienne Moore, the Willits city manager, said the town got 6.61 inches of rain since last Wednesday. That increased the city's water supply, she said, but the town's reservoirs are still at just 25 to 30 percent of capacity.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"It definitely was helpful, but it has not at all pulled us out of a drought yet,\" Moore said. \"We would need to have several similar storms like that to consider the drought a non-issue.\" She compared the 250 acre feet in water that flowed into Willits' reservoirs to \"pouring a cup of coffee into a 5-gallon bucket.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>As cautious as water managers sound north of the Golden Gate, at least they saw some meaningful improvement in water supplies over the weekend. That's not the case for the South Bay's biggest water agency, the Santa Clara Valley Water District.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>Waiting for the rain gauges to move\u003c/strong>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Most of the rain stayed well to the north of the valley and its reservoirs, and district spokesman Marty Grimes summarized the impact this way: \"Last Thursday, our local reservoir storage was 31.6 percent, and today it's 31.7 percent.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Grimes came across as so disappointed by those numbers that I asked, \"Are you as bummed out as you sound?\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>He laughed. \"I was looking at the rain gauges and reservoir gauges all weekend long, and I was waiting to see them respond,\" he said. \"And I was looking at that Doppler radar map with those nice red and orange waves (signifying heavy rain) going across the North Bay, and it just made me more and more dejected to see we weren't getting any in the South Bay, or very little.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The Santa Clara Valley district has asked users for a 10 percent voluntary cutback in water consumption. With the district heavily dependent on water supplies from the Sacramento-San Joaquin Delta that will be severely curtailed this year, he urged customers to consider steps like planting drought-tolerant plants. He also had a request.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"We would like to have the next series of storms directed our way, if you can manage that,\" he said.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\u003c/div>",

(Mark Andrew Boyer/KQED)\u003c/figcaption>\u003c/figure>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>Update 8:30 a.m. Monday:\u003c/strong> After the deluge, what? This morning’s \u003ca href=\"http://www.wrh.noaa.gov/total_forecast/getprod.php?prod=XXXAFDMTR&wfo=MTR\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">forecast discussion from the National Weather Service Bay Area office in Monterey\u003c/a> is calling for a “fairly quiet week” ahead. Right now, forecasters say there’s very little chance of rain over the central Bay Area or South Bay during the week and that the one place that might see a little rain is northern Sonoma County. And if you’re thinking about when the next real storm might come barging through, the NWS says: “Longer-range outlook going through all of next week keeps the main storm track to the north and shows a higher than normal chance for drier-than-normal conditions with above-normal temperatures.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>Update: 3 p.m. Sunday:\u003c/strong> The National Weather Service has issued \u003ca href=\"http://forecast.weather.gov/wwamap/wwatxtget.php?cwa=mtr&wwa=flash%20flood%20watch\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">a flash flood watch for Marin, Sonoma and Napa counties\u003c/a> effective through 9 p.m.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[contextly_sidebar id=”707d99601ca7a088a7a24560d28609e4″]\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The North Bay has been at the receiving end for more than 24 hours of a fire hose feeding moisture from the tropics southwest of Hawaii all the way to the coast north of the Golden Gate. Flooding in Sonoma County closed a number of rural roads Saturday and Sunday (see \u003ca href=\"http://roadconditions.sonoma-county.org/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">the county’s current road closures list\u003c/a>). The Press Democrat in Santa Rosa features \u003ca href=\"http://www.pressdemocrat.com/gallery/gallery/20140208.208009996.html\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">a good picture gallery\u003c/a> of shots from around the county.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The storm has brought a fantastic-sounding amount of rain to some of the highland areas north of the Golden Gate. Some locales in the Russian River watershed had gotten close to a foot of rain in the 72 hours beginning Wednesday afternoon and ending Saturday at 4 p.m.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[ad fullwidth]\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>But the most startling rainfall report I’ve seen as I look through the various precipitation tables comes from the \u003ca href=\"http://www.wrh.noaa.gov/mesowest/getobext.php?wfo=mtr&sid=MDEC1&num=72&raw=0\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Middle Peak rain gauge\u003c/a> on Mount Tamalpais. More than 10 inches of rain fell there Saturday, and the total since the current round of wet weather began Wednesday evening is \u003cdel datetime=\"2014-02-09T20:38:00+00:00\">15.73 inches\u003c/del> \u003cstrong>20.67 inches \u003c/strong>(and counting).\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Yes, Mount Tamalpais is a famously wet place during winter storms. \u003ca href=\"http://www.marinwater.org/documents/Rainfall_History_Lake_Lagunitas.pdf\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Rainfall at Lake Lagunitas\u003c/a>, a small reservoir on the north flank of the mountain, averages 52 inches of rain a year (compared with about 21 inches a year in downtown San Francisco, about 10 miles or so away). But, like the rest of the state, it’s been dry up there this year. Middle Peak got just .06 of an inch of rain in January — the same as San Francisco — and for the water year beginning last July 1, it had recorded 7.28 inches of precipitation before the first drops of rain started to fall around sunset on Wednesday. Going into Sunday morning, that total stands at \u003cdel datetime=\"2014-02-09T20:38:00+00:00\">23.01 inches\u003c/del> \u003cstrong>27.95 inches\u003c/strong>. It’ll be interesting to see how that affects the water supply for the Marin Municipal Water District, which is almost entirely dependent on storing water running off Mount Tam. As of last week, the district’s reservoirs were a little more than half full and at just \u003ca href=\"http://www.marinwater.org/documents/waterwatch140202.pdf\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">64 percent of average storage\u003c/a> for this time of year.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>It’s safe to say the rest of the Bay Area hasn’t seen anything like the deluge that’s been pouring down on the North Bay. But most of the region have gotten a decent soaking. The big exception so far: most of the South Bay east of the Skyline Boulevard crest and Santa Cruz Mountains. For instance, Palo Alto got .12 of an inch and Moffett Field .13 in the 72 hours ending Sunday morning. Yes, that’s less than 1 percent of what’s fallen on Mount Tam, a result of topography and the fact that the richest source of moisture for the current storm has been focused far to the north of Silicon Valley.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Here’s the NWS regional rainfall report with three-day storm totals for dozens of locations through Sunday morning:\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>\u003ca href=\"//www.wrh.noaa.gov/total_forecast/getprod.php?wfo=mtr&pil=PNS&sid=MTR&version=0\">Public Information Statement: 3-Day Rainfall Reports\u003c/a>\u003c/strong>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>Update, 1:45 p.m. Saturday: \u003c/strong> First, let’s remind everyone: The drought’s not over.

As you can see, 3 to 5 inches of rain are forecast throughout the Bay Area, starting tonight through the weekend.

Fairly widespread rain will continue through the morning hours on Thursday. Areawide forecast amounts through this event will likely range from 1/2″ to 3/4″. A few of the higher resolution models indicate upward of 1″ to 1.5″ will be possible in the coastal mountains … especially the Santa Cruz mountains.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The heaviest rain expected during Thursday morning rush hour, commuters are urged to drive with caution and allow for extra driving time.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Rain chances will taper off Thursday night into early Friday morning across much of the region.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>A much deeper plume of moisture with origins from the central Pacific is forecast to impact the region this coming weekend. While confidence is high for the overall set up … the exact placement remains a forecast challenge.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The general consensus keeps the deepest moisture plume across Northern California and the North Bay. Rain totals for this weekend across the North Bay are expected to reach 3 to 5 inches with isolated totals upwards of 6+ inches in the North Bay coastal mountains.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The heaviest rain appears to be Saturday morning as a mid/upper level disturbance passes through. Areas from the Golden Gate down to Santa Cruz can pick up an additional 2 to 3 inches of rainfall this weekend. With the best plume of moisture to the north of the Monterey Bay area … rainfall amounts between 1/2″ to 1.25″ (highest in the Santa Lucias) will be possible …\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The weekend rain chances diminish late Sunday into Monday as a stronger mid/upper level trough sweeps through the region and drier air filters in aloft…\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>For days 7 and 8 it appears the jet stream will be focused over the Pacific Northwest with drier/warmer conditions across Central California.

Stay tuned.\u003c/p>\u003c/blockquote>\n\u003cp>Meanwhile, water reserves across the state are only at about 10 to 20 percent of normal. The water shortage isn’t hitting all stakeholders equally. During a discussion on KQED’s \u003ca href=\"http://www.kqed.org/a/forum/R201402050900\">“Forum”\u003c/a> today, Paul Rogers talked about who the dry spell is hitting the hardest.\u003c/p>\n\u003cblockquote>\u003cp>“I would say overall, statewide, if you put them in sort of a ranking, ranchers are being hit the worst — they don’t have green grass that they need for their herds, they’re having to buy hay, and it’s very expensive to feed their cattle. And many of them are having to sell cattle off.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Second are farmers. Farmers are not getting water from the Delta and from surface streams and rivers, so as a result they’re having to pump ground water even more heavily in the Central Valley than they normally do. They’re going to be fallowing hundreds of thousand of acres of land this summer. Unemployment in the Central Valley is going to skyrocket.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Third is small towns and small water districts. Some of them are running very low on water because a lot of them don’t have the money to have backup supplies.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>And finally the groups that have it the easiest in the state, I would argue at this point, are the large cities: Los Angeles, the folks that get their water from the Hetch Hetchy system here in the Bay Area — San Francisco, the Peninsula, folks in the EBMUD system and then folks in the Santa Clara Valley Water District area down south.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The reason they have a relatively better situation is that they have hundreds of millions of dollars in their budgets, they have big staffs, and since the last drought in 1987 and ’92 they have been running decades of rebates and conservation programs to keep demand down. They’ve put in backup supplies like in Contra Costa where they built Los Vaqueros Reservoir over the last decade. They’ve been storing water in underground banks, so they have plan B, plan C and plan D.”\u003c/p>\u003c/blockquote>\n\u003cp>Rogers pointed out that San Francisco has received only 2.4 inches of rain since July 1 rather than its normal 14 inches, and that rainfall totals all around the Bay Area are only 10 to 20 percent of normal, which puts us in the driest period since California became a state in 1850, when records were first kept.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[ad floatright]\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>In other drought news, federal officials announced today they’re offering $14 million in competitive grants. The $1 million grants are earmarked for projects that improve water efficiency on agricultural lands — for example, to decrease how much water is lost through evaporation or other means. Applications are due March 24 and projects must include farmers, water districts and other stakeholders. Federal officials also said they’ve developed drought contingency plans for endangered species, including plans to rescue stranded fish from rivers or streams.\u003c/p>\n\n",

Right now, forecasters say there’s very little chance of rain over the central Bay Area or South Bay during the week and that the one place that might see a little rain is northern Sonoma County. And if you’re thinking about when the next real storm might come barging through, the NWS says: “Longer-range outlook going through all of next week keeps the main storm track to the north and shows a higher than normal chance for drier-than-normal conditions with above-normal temperatures.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>Update: 3 p.m. Sunday:\u003c/strong> The National Weather Service has issued \u003ca href=\"http://forecast.weather.gov/wwamap/wwatxtget.php?cwa=mtr&wwa=flash%20flood%20watch\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">a flash flood watch for Marin, Sonoma and Napa counties\u003c/a> effective through 9 p.m.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\u003cp>\u003c/p>\u003cp>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The North Bay has been at the receiving end for more than 24 hours of a fire hose feeding moisture from the tropics southwest of Hawaii all the way to the coast north of the Golden Gate.

More than 10 inches of rain fell there Saturday, and the total since the current round of wet weather began Wednesday evening is \u003cdel datetime=\"2014-02-09T20:38:00+00:00\">15.73 inches\u003c/del> \u003cstrong>20.67 inches \u003c/strong>(and counting).\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Yes, Mount Tamalpais is a famously wet place during winter storms. \u003ca href=\"http://www.marinwater.org/documents/Rainfall_History_Lake_Lagunitas.pdf\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Rainfall at Lake Lagunitas\u003c/a>, a small reservoir on the north flank of the mountain, averages 52 inches of rain a year (compared with about 21 inches a year in downtown San Francisco, about 10 miles or so away). But, like the rest of the state, it’s been dry up there this year. Middle Peak got just .06 of an inch of rain in January — the same as San Francisco — and for the water year beginning last July 1, it had recorded 7.28 inches of precipitation before the first drops of rain started to fall around sunset on Wednesday. Going into Sunday morning, that total stands at \u003cdel datetime=\"2014-02-09T20:38:00+00:00\">23.01 inches\u003c/del> \u003cstrong>27.95 inches\u003c/strong>. It’ll be interesting to see how that affects the water supply for the Marin Municipal Water District, which is almost entirely dependent on storing water running off Mount Tam. As of last week, the district’s reservoirs were a little more than half full and at just \u003ca href=\"http://www.marinwater.org/documents/waterwatch140202.pdf\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">64 percent of average storage\u003c/a> for this time of year.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>It’s safe to say the rest of the Bay Area hasn’t seen anything like the deluge that’s been pouring down on the North Bay. But most of the region have gotten a decent soaking. The big exception so far: most of the South Bay east of the Skyline Boulevard crest and Santa Cruz Mountains. For instance, Palo Alto got .12 of an inch and Moffett Field .13 in the 72 hours ending Sunday morning.

After that, at least a couple of dry days are forecast.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The storm is expected to bring heavy snow to the Sierra Nevada, and winter storm warnings are in effect for virtually the entire range.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>Update Thursday: \u003c/strong>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Flood advisories for Alameda, Santa Clara and San Mateo counties expire at 10:45 a.m.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Here’s the \u003ca href=\"http://www.wrh.noaa.gov/total_forecast/getprod.php?prod=XXXAFDMTR&wfo=MTR\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">latest forecast from the National Weather Service\u003c/a>, as of 9:24 a.m. We edited to strip out the weather-geek stuff. As KQED’s Paul Rogers told us yesterday, the storm won’t end the drought, but will reduce fire risk. Rogers said we’re in for the most rain in 14 months.\u003c/p>\n\u003cul>\n\u003cli>Wet weather expected through the weekend. Light rain continues across the Bay Area this morning with occasionally moderate to heavy showers from Santa Cruz south. Rain and showers should begin to taper off later this morning as the current storm system exits the area and some drier air works its way in.\u003c/li>\n\u003cli>A moister storm system is expected to impact the area, beginning roughly late Friday afternoon and lasting through at least Sunday. This storm system will result in urban and possibly small stream flooding.\u003c/li>\n\u003cli>Precipitation forecast to begin in the North Bay area early Friday afternoon, spreading south throughout the day. Around 1.25 inches arriving to the coast Friday evening, rising to 1.39 inches by late Saturday morning and slowly decreasing Saturday night into Sunday.\u003c/li>\n\u003cli>The current storm total precipitation forecast from Friday afternoon through Sunday: up to 7.5 inches of rainfall along the North Bay coastal hills, around 1.5 inches in the San Francisco Bay Area and 2.5 inches in the Santa Cruz mountains. These are substantial rainfall values, which will result in urban and possibly small stream flooding this weekend. Please be sure to clean your storm drains and gutters in advance of this rainfall.\u003c/li>\n\u003c/ul>\n\u003cp>\u003cem>Original post\u003c/em>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Here’s the \u003cem>\u003c/em>\u003ca href=\"http://25.media.tumblr.com/80323f2e34a96179020b5792bab2a2d1/tumblr_n0jp3wILnU1tp9boeo1_1280.png\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">map from the National Weather Service\u003c/a>. As you can see, 3 to 5 inches of rain are forecast throughout the Bay Area, starting tonight through the weekend. KQED Science Managing Editor Paul Rogers tells us this won’t be enough rain to end the drought, but will be enough, if it materializes, to reduce fire risk and clear the air. It would also be the biggest storm in 14 months.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cimg loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter size-medium wp-image-125362\" src=\"http://ww2.kqed.org/news/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2014/02/nwsmap-640x499.png\" alt=\"nwsmap\" width=\"640\" height=\"499\">\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Here are the parts of the \u003ca href=\"http://www.wrh.noaa.gov/total_forecast/getprod.php?prod=XXXAFDMTR&wfo=MTR\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">forecast\u003c/a> from the NWS related to the wet stuff ….\u003c/p>\n\u003cblockquote>\u003cp>Expecting rainfall to begin to develop across the North Bay late this evening and spread southward overnight. Fairly widespread rain will continue through the morning hours on Thursday. Areawide forecast amounts through this event will likely range from 1/2″ to 3/4″. A few of the higher resolution models indicate upward of 1″ to 1.5″ will be possible in the coastal mountains … especially the Santa Cruz mountains.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The heaviest rain expected during Thursday morning rush hour, commuters are urged to drive with caution and allow for extra driving time.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Rain chances will taper off Thursday night into early Friday morning across much of the region.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>A much deeper plume of moisture with origins from the central Pacific is forecast to impact the region this coming weekend. While confidence is high for the overall set up … the exact placement remains a forecast challenge.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The general consensus keeps the deepest moisture plume across Northern California and the North Bay. Rain totals for this weekend across the North Bay are expected to reach 3 to 5 inches with isolated totals upwards of 6+ inches in the North Bay coastal mountains.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The heaviest rain appears to be Saturday morning as a mid/upper level disturbance passes through. Areas from the Golden Gate down to Santa Cruz can pick up an additional 2 to 3 inches of rainfall this weekend. With the best plume of moisture to the north of the Monterey Bay area … rainfall amounts between 1/2″ to 1.25″ (highest in the Santa Lucias) will be possible …\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The weekend rain chances diminish late Sunday into Monday as a stronger mid/upper level trough sweeps through the region and drier air filters in aloft…\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>For days 7 and 8 it appears the jet stream will be focused over the Pacific Northwest with drier/warmer conditions across Central California. Will keep slight chance across our northern areas with a possibility of another weak system moving through. Will continue to monitor the development and forecast placement of this\u003cbr>\nweekend’s atmospheric river event in the coming days. Stay tuned.\u003c/p>\u003c/blockquote>\n\u003cp>Meanwhile, water reserves across the state are only at about 10 to 20 percent of normal. The water shortage isn’t hitting all stakeholders equally. During a discussion on KQED’s \u003ca href=\"http://www.kqed.org/a/forum/R201402050900\">“Forum”\u003c/a> today, Paul Rogers talked about who the dry spell is hitting the hardest.\u003c/p>\n\u003cblockquote>\u003cp>“I would say overall, statewide, if you put them in sort of a ranking, ranchers are being hit the worst — they don’t have green grass that they need for their herds, they’re having to buy hay, and it’s very expensive to feed their cattle. And many of them are having to sell cattle off.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Second are farmers. Farmers are not getting water from the Delta and from surface streams and rivers, so as a result they’re having to pump ground water even more heavily in the Central Valley than they normally do. They’re going to be fallowing hundreds of thousand of acres of land this summer. Unemployment in the Central Valley is going to skyrocket.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Third is small towns and small water districts. Some of them are running very low on water because a lot of them don’t have the money to have backup supplies.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>And finally the groups that have it the easiest in the state, I would argue at this point, are the large cities: Los Angeles, the folks that get their water from the Hetch Hetchy system here in the Bay Area — San Francisco, the Peninsula, folks in the EBMUD system and then folks in the Santa Clara Valley Water District area down south.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The reason they have a relatively better situation is that they have hundreds of millions of dollars in their budgets, they have big staffs, and since the last drought in 1987 and ’92 they have been running decades of rebates and conservation programs to keep demand down. They’ve put in backup supplies like in Contra Costa where they built Los Vaqueros Reservoir over the last decade. They’ve been storing water in underground banks, so they have plan B, plan C and plan D.”\u003c/p>\u003c/blockquote>\n\u003cp>Rogers pointed out that San Francisco has received only 2.4 inches of rain since July 1 rather than its normal 14 inches, and that rainfall totals all around the Bay Area are only 10 to 20 percent of normal, which puts us in the driest period since California became a state in 1850, when records were first kept.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\u003c/div>",

The panel voted 9-3 vote to approve full House consideration of the bill, \u003ca href=\"http://beta.congress.gov/113/bills/hr3964/BILLS-113hr3964ih.pdf\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">HR3964\u003c/a>, sponsored by the state’s GOP delegation and advertised as emergency drought relief for farm communities in the San Joaquin Valley. The 68-page measure would roll back a wide range of environmental protections for endangered species, kill the decades-long effort to restore flows, and salmon, to the San Joaquin River and pre-empt state water and endangered species laws. Those measures are all designed to allow more water to be sent from federal pumps in the Delta to farmers in the San Joaquin Valley.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Critics of the bill, including Gov. Jerry Brown and \u003ca href=\"http://mavensnotebook.com/2014/01/31/this-just-in-state-of-california-officially-opposes-hr-3964/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">John Laird, head of the state’s Resources Agency\u003c/a>, say it’s an overly broad measure that would disrupt California’s efforts to deal with its short- and long-term water issues while failing to deliver supplies to drought-afflicted communities.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The Rules panel’s \u003ca href=\"http://rules.house.gov/video/rules-committee-hearing-hr-3964-and-hr-2954\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">two-hour hearing Tuesday\u003c/a> featured sharp disagreements between California Democrats and one of the bill’s Republican architects, Rep. Devin Nunes, R-Visalia, over the pre-emption issue.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Rep. Jared Huffman, D-San Rafael, warned that HR 3964 threatens to overturn a bipartisan package of water laws that the state Legislature passed in 2009. He offered an amendment to try to protect those 2009 measures, which included new rules for groundwater pumping and a new state commission to investigate water supply and environmental issues in the Sacramento-San Joaquin Delta.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“Let’s at least make sure that we’re not pre-empting, through the sweeping pre-emption language in this bill, the best thing to happen in California water in half a century,” Huffman said.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[ad fullwidth]\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Nunes called the pre-emption issue “total nonsense,” describing it as “a false red herring put up by the left because they know what they’ve done to our region is wrong.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Rep. John Garamendi, an East Bay Democrat, offered an amendment to the GOP bill that would remove what he termed its most “contentious” provisions and instead call for pursuing aggressive conservation, recycling and new water storage programs. Rep. Jim Costa, D-Fresno, offered an amendment that would set up a bipartisan congressional task force to address California’s water supply issues.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>It’s unlikely that any of the Democratic amendments will survive in the heavily Republican House. It’s equally doubtful that the Democrat-controlled Senate will pass or even act on the bill, which is opposed by Sens. Dianne Feinstein and Barbara Boxer.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>Original post: \u003c/strong> Gov. Jerry Brown has come out against an emergency water bill introduced by California’s House Republicans, saying the legislation would do little to provide drought relief and instead would reopen divisions among all those with an interest in how the state’s water supply is divvied up.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Emergency drought legislation was \u003ca href=\"http://www.fresnobee.com/2014/01/22/3727117/house-speaker-touts-drought-emergency.html\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">touted earlier this month\u003c/a> as a temporary measure to get more water to Central Valley farmers.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>But what has emerged now is \u003ca href=\"http://beta.congress.gov/113/bills/hr3964/BILLS-113hr3964ih.pdf\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">HR3964\u003c/a>. It’s a sweeping and apparently permanent measure that, in its 68 pages, would: a) roll back a wide range of environmental protections for endangered species; b) kill the decades-long effort to restore flows, and salmon runs, to the San Joaquin River, and; c) pre-empt state water and endangered species laws.

The 68-page measure would roll back a wide range of environmental protections for endangered species, kill the decades-long effort to restore flows, and salmon, to the San Joaquin River and pre-empt state water and endangered species laws.

Jared Huffman, D-San Rafael, warned that HR 3964 threatens to overturn a bipartisan package of water laws that the state Legislature passed in 2009.
