On Friday, it was up to 90.2.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>That’s the all-time high — for now. But with the prospect of more rain on the way, the index is certain to keep rising. Models show a chance for three weakish storms to hit Northern California over the next 10 days, and the region has a shot at more rain and snow through at least the end of May.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>If you’re wondering about the extent of the very heavy precipitation reflected in the eight-station index, well, so were we. A check of the California-Nevada River Forecast Center’s running total of water-year precipitation shows 37 sites, almost all in Northern California, with 100 inches or more of rain and snow since Oct. 1. \u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The water-year leader so far is a place called Four Trees in the Feather River basin: 152 inches and counting. Venado, the hillside location west of Healdsburg in northern Sonoma County, comes in with a paltry 148.3 inches. Ben Lomond, a reliably rainy location in the Santa Cruz Mountains, has about 110.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Several other indices of seasonal precipitation are far above average for this time of year if not in record territory.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The state’s \u003ca href=\"http://cdec.water.ca.gov/cdecapp/precipapp/get5SIPrecipIndex.action\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">five-station San Joaquin index\u003c/a>, which records precipitation in the Stanislaus, Tuolumne, Merced and San Joaquin, stands at 68.2 inches and 194 percent above average. The 1982-83 record is 77.4.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The \u003ca href=\"http://cdec.water.ca.gov/cdecapp/precipapp/get6SIPrecipIndex.action\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">six-station index in the Tulare Basin\u003c/a>, which includes the Kings, Kaweah, Tule and Kern river basins, is 45 inches, 178 percent of normal and about 150 percent of average for the entire water year.

On Friday, it was up to 90.2.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>That’s the all-time high — for now. But with the prospect of more rain on the way, the index is certain to keep rising.

A check of the California-Nevada River Forecast Center’s running total of water-year precipitation shows 37 sites, almost all in Northern California, with 100 inches or more of rain and snow since Oct. 1. \u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The water-year leader so far is a place called Four Trees in the Feather River basin: 152 inches and counting. Venado, the hillside location west of Healdsburg in northern Sonoma County, comes in with a paltry 148.3 inches. Ben Lomond, a reliably rainy location in the Santa Cruz Mountains, has about 110.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Several other indices of seasonal precipitation are far above average for this time of year if not in record territory.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The state’s \u003ca href=\"http://cdec.water.ca.gov/cdecapp/precipapp/get5SIPrecipIndex.action\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">five-station San Joaquin index\u003c/a>, which records precipitation in the Stanislaus, Tuolumne, Merced and San Joaquin, stands at 68.2 inches and 194 percent above average. The 1982-83 record is 77.4.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The \u003ca href=\"http://cdec.water.ca.gov/cdecapp/precipapp/get6SIPrecipIndex.action\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">six-station index in the Tulare Basin\u003c/a>, which includes the Kings, Kaweah, Tule and Kern river basins, is 45 inches, 178 percent of normal and about 150 percent of average for the entire water year.

By Wednesday night, models had already spit out a new version of forecast reality for next week. Thursday, the Monterey forecast office had this to say about conditions next week:\u003c/p>\n\u003cblockquote>\u003cp>The second half of next week is starting to look more interesting on the medium range models. By Wednesday a third weak system skirts the North Bay again. However, a more promising system looks to really break down the ridge with the best chance for rain the next seven days. Therefore, have introduced widespread precipitation for the entire Bay Area next Thursday and Friday. Confidence is not the highest given that it is seven days out.

Hosts Ki Sung and Katrina Schwartz introduce listeners to educators, researchers, parents and students who are developing effective ways to improve how kids learn. We cover topics like how fed-up administrators are developing surprising tactics to deal with classroom disruptions; how listening to podcasts are helping kids develop reading skills; the consequences of overparenting; and why interdisciplinary learning can engage students on all ends of the traditional achievement spectrum. This podcast is part of the MindShift education site, a division of KQED News. KQED is an NPR/PBS member station based in San Francisco.
