He has broken major stories about \u003ca href=\"https://www.kqed.org/news/135682/amid-a-series-of-vallejo-police-shootings-one-officers-name-stands-out\">police use of deadly force\u003c/a>, \u003ca href=\"https://www.kqed.org/news/10454955/racist-texts-prompt-sfpd-internal-investigation\">officer misconduct\u003c/a> and \u003ca href=\"https://www.kqed.org/news/11712239/terrorist-or-troll-judge-to-weigh-whether-oakland-man-really-intended-to-attack-bay-area\">other\u003c/a> \u003ca href=\"https://www.kqed.org/news/11221414/hayward-paid-159000-to-husband-of-retired-police-chief-documents-show\">high\u003c/a>-\u003ca href=\"https://www.kqed.org/news/10622762/the-forgotten-tracking-two-homicides-in-san-francisco-public-housing\">profile\u003c/a> \u003ca href=\"https://www.kqed.org/news/11624516/federal-agency-promoted-ranger-just-months-after-his-gun-was-stolen-and-used-in-steinle-killing\">cases\u003c/a>. He co-founded the \u003ca href=\"https://projects.scpr.org/california-reporting-project/\">California Reporting Project\u003c/a> in 2019 to obtain and report on previously confidential police internal investigations. The effort produced well over 100 original stories and changed the course of multiple criminal cases.\r\n\r\nHis work has been recognized with numerous journalism awards, including a national Edward R. Murrow award for several years of \u003ca href=\"https://www.kqed.org/news/11688481/sfpd-officers-in-mario-woods-case-recount-shooting-in-newly-filed-depositions\">reporting\u003c/a> on the San Francisco Police shooting of Mario Woods. His \u003ca href=\"https://www.kqed.org/news/147854/half-of-those-killed-by-san-francisco-police-are-mentally-ill\">reporting\u003c/a> on police killings of people in psychiatric crisis was cited in amicus briefs before the U.S. Supreme Court.\r\n\r\nAlex now enjoys mentoring the next generation of journalists at KQED.",

And you are officially late.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Yes: We bought into all the flash flood watches and the talk of 10 inches of rain out there somewhere in the hills north and south of the bay. Starting up there in Sonoma County by midnight. But as dawn dawns, there's been barely enough water coming out of the sky to wet the bottom of a rain gauge.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>So what gives?\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Well, if you go far enough north -- close to the Sonoma-Mendocino County line -- it has been raining overnight, though hardly in torrents. Cloverdale, at the northern edge of Sonoma, got .48 of an inch between midnight and 6 a.m.; Venado, a very rainy hilltop site west of Healdsburg, also in Sonoma County, has gotten .64, and Santa Rosa .05. Closer to the central Bay Area, several Marin locations, including the village of Olema near Point Reyes, have reported .01 of an inch since midnight.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Much farther up the coast -- in northern Mendocino and Humboldt counties -- there's been lots of rain. Honeydew, a hamlet on the Mattole River in southern Humboldt, has gotten about 7 inches of ran in the past 24 hours.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>For the Bay Area, the National Weather Service is now saying we should expect rain in the central Bay Area by this afternoon. A flash flood watch for North Bay counties, originally set to expire at 10 p.m. Friday, has been extended to 6 a.m. Saturday.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>An advisory for winds between 25-35 mph with gusts up to 60 on peaks and ridgetops is in place through 4 a.m. Saturday. Highest wind gusts reported so far have been 56 mph on Mount Diablo and 49 mph at Point Reyes. Caltrans has posted a high-wind advisory for drivers on the Bay Bridge throughout the day Friday.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>Earlier post:\u003c/strong> Watching the \u003ca href=\"http://radar.weather.gov/radar.php?rid=mux&product=N0R&overlay=11101111&loop=no\" target=\"_blank\">National Weather Service online radarscope\u003c/a> Thursday night after six weeks of midwinter dry weather, you can see there's rain out there offshore. But it has seemed to crawl toward the coast all evening.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>But as of 10:30 p.m. Thursday, we've got the first reports of rain in the nine-county Bay Area: four-hundredths of an inch of rain in the Sonoma County town of Cloverdale, on the border of Mendocino County. The Middle Peak rain gauge on Mount Tamalpais has recorded one-hundredth of an inch.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>That's a modest beginning for a pair of storms expected to bring up to 10 inches of rain to the highlands of the North Bay, up to half a foot to the Santa Cruz Mountains, and between an inch and 4 inches of rain to the San Francisco Bay shore and nearby valleys.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The storm is also expected to be a blustery one, with sustained winds of 20 to 35 mph and gusts that could hit 60 mph on Bay Area peaks and ridgetops.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[ad floatright]\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The storm arrives after a history-making January -- the first time no rain was recorded during the first month of the year since record keeping began in the winter of 1849-50.\u003c/p>\n\n",

And you are officially late.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Yes: We bought into all the flash flood watches and the talk of 10 inches of rain out there somewhere in the hills north and south of the bay.

Cloverdale, at the northern edge of Sonoma, got .48 of an inch between midnight and 6 a.m.; Venado, a very rainy hilltop site west of Healdsburg, also in Sonoma County, has gotten .64, and Santa Rosa .05. Closer to the central Bay Area, several Marin locations, including the village of Olema near Point Reyes, have reported .01 of an inch since midnight.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Much farther up the coast -- in northern Mendocino and Humboldt counties -- there's been lots of rain. Honeydew, a hamlet on the Mattole River in southern Humboldt, has gotten about 7 inches of ran in the past 24 hours.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>For the Bay Area, the National Weather Service is now saying we should expect rain in the central Bay Area by this afternoon. A flash flood watch for North Bay counties, originally set to expire at 10 p.m. Friday, has been extended to 6 a.m. Saturday.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>An advisory for winds between 25-35 mph with gusts up to 60 on peaks and ridgetops is in place through 4 a.m. Saturday. Highest wind gusts reported so far have been 56 mph on Mount Diablo and 49 mph at Point Reyes. Caltrans has posted a high-wind advisory for drivers on the Bay Bridge throughout the day Friday.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>Earlier post:\u003c/strong> Watching the \u003ca href=\"http://radar.weather.gov/radar.php?rid=mux&product=N0R&overlay=11101111&loop=no\" target=\"_blank\">National Weather Service online radarscope\u003c/a> Thursday night after six weeks of midwinter dry weather, you can see there's rain out there offshore. But it has seemed to crawl toward the coast all evening.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>But as of 10:30 p.m. Thursday, we've got the first reports of rain in the nine-county Bay Area: four-hundredths of an inch of rain in the Sonoma County town of Cloverdale, on the border of Mendocino County. The Middle Peak rain gauge on Mount Tamalpais has recorded one-hundredth of an inch.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>That's a modest beginning for a pair of storms expected to bring up to 10 inches of rain to the highlands of the North Bay, up to half a foot to the Santa Cruz Mountains, and between an inch and 4 inches of rain to the San Francisco Bay shore and nearby valleys.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The storm is also expected to be a blustery one, with sustained winds of 20 to 35 mph and gusts that could hit 60 mph on Bay Area peaks and ridgetops.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\u003c/div>",

Davis decided to handicap it. Their conclusion: don’t bet on wet.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Jay Lund, who specializes in the engineering side of water and geologist Jeff Mount, now a senior fellow at the Public Policy Institute of California, looked at more than a hundred years of precipitation records and drought patterns in the Sacramento Valley, and calculate that the chances of another winter with below-average precipitation to be nearly three in four. Lund and Mount figure there’s about a one-in-four chance of a “critically dry” year, using the five-category nomenclature of state water managers. “There’s a good chance that if you’re in a dry year this year, you’ll be in a dry year next year,” says Lund.

But the odds facing California for next year aren’t as good.

Lund and Mount figure there’s about a one-in-four chance of a “critically dry” year, using the five-category nomenclature of state water managers. “There’s a good chance that if you’re in a dry year this year, you’ll be in a dry year next year,” says Lund.

A 20-foot tall tree was reported down on 37th Avenue between Irving and Judah streets, and other trees fell onto cars this morning on Clement Street and 44th Avenue and in the 1400 block of Kirkwood Avenue in the Bayview. No injuries were reported in any of those incidents. A large tree limb also fell on the sidewalk on Gough and California streets, Gordon said.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Southbound lanes on the Great Highway between Lincoln Way and Sloat Boulevard remain closed today because of flooding. The stretch of road along Ocean Beach closed Wednesday evening when an earlier rainstorm passed through the region. Gordon said there are crews deployed throughout the city today to clear out storm drains. They are responding to specific calls and checking on known problem areas such as Folsom and 17th streets, parts of the Richmond District and an area prone to flooding in Glen Park.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>To help handle the deluge of rain, the department is offering up to 10 free sandbags for city residents and businesses. The bags can be picked up today at the DPW operations yard entrance near Marin and Kansas streets.\u003cstrong>\u003cbr>\n\u003c/strong>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>12:30 p.m. Friday Update:\u003c/strong> The worst of the early Friday morning storm is moving south from the Bay Area at this hour with the passage of a cold front, and the National Weather Service has canceled flood advisories for the South Bay and Santa Cruz and Monterey counties.

As of about noon, 51 arrivals and 52 departures had been canceled at SFO, airport duty manager Larry Mares said. Travelers whose flights have not been canceled are experiencing delays of about 30 to 60 minutes, with some flights delayed as much as 90 minutes.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>7:30 a.m. Friday Update:\u003c/strong> As advertised, a storm that swept in from the Pacific overnight has brought high winds and heavy rain this morning.

As for the Wednesday storm totals: The \u003ca href=\"http://www.wrh.noaa.gov/total_forecast/getprod.php?prod=XXXAFDMTR&wfo=MTR\" target=\"_blank\">National Weather Service's long but not quite comprehensive list shows\u003c/a> Monterey County locations got the highest amounts, with sites in the Santa Lucia Mountains inland from Big Sur getting nearly 4 inches in the past 24 hours. Many places in the Santa Cruz Mountains in the immediate Bay Area got close to 3 inches, and typically wet North Bay locations like Mount Tamalpais generally got somewhere between 1.25 and 2 inches. Bayside locations saw between half and three-quarters of an inch.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>Original post:\u003c/strong> In an \"ordinary\" Bay Area winter, there'd be nothing at all remarkable about today's weather. Rain? So what? In fact, confronted by a wet morning in a more typical late February, some among us might be saying, \"Enough already. When does spring get here?\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>But there's nothing typical, of course, about this dry, dry winter (and yes, when it comes to California's rainy season, variability is the norm). So that's why we'll assume -- feel free to back us up on this -- that aside from the chore of driving in the rain, the arrival of showers throughout the Bay Area this morning is cause for widespread if quiet rejoicing.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003ca href=\"http://www.wrh.noaa.gov/mtr/\" target=\"_blank\">National Weather Service\u003c/a> forecasters say the greater Bay Area — from the Sonoma-Mendocino county line down through the Salinas Valley, can expect 3 to 5 inches of rain from a series of storms between Wednesday and Saturday. Unlike the series of storms we saw earlier this month, when more than a foot of rain fell on ridgetop locations in Marin, Sonoma and Napa counties, precipitation will be more evenly distributed from north to south. The highest regional rain totals through Sunday, up to 6 inches, are forecast for the Santa Cruz Mountains and the Santa Lucia Range to the south. And the most copious precipitation statewide is expected in Southern California, where some mountain locations could see a foot of rain (or its equivalent in snow) by the end of the weekend.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>As for the Sierra snowpack, forecasters say 2 to 3 feet of snow could fall over the higher elevations, with the heaviest amounts coming toward the southern end of the mountain range. The mountain snowpack, a major reservoir for the state's annual water needs, is just 22 percent of normal for this time of year.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>As to the question that hangs over any discussion of rain during a drought: How much will the current series of storms help?\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[ad floatright]\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Well, they won't hurt, that's for sure. But they will do little to make up the state's deep precipitation deficit or prevent the water shortages we're facing at least through the end of this calendar year. The good news is that right now forecasters are seeing increasing chances of another storm visiting the state next week.\u003c/p>\n\n",

A 20-foot tall tree was reported down on 37th Avenue between Irving and Judah streets, and other trees fell onto cars this morning on Clement Street and 44th Avenue and in the 1400 block of Kirkwood Avenue in the Bayview. No injuries were reported in any of those incidents. A large tree limb also fell on the sidewalk on Gough and California streets, Gordon said.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Southbound lanes on the Great Highway between Lincoln Way and Sloat Boulevard remain closed today because of flooding. The stretch of road along Ocean Beach closed Wednesday evening when an earlier rainstorm passed through the region. Gordon said there are crews deployed throughout the city today to clear out storm drains. They are responding to specific calls and checking on known problem areas such as Folsom and 17th streets, parts of the Richmond District and an area prone to flooding in Glen Park.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>To help handle the deluge of rain, the department is offering up to 10 free sandbags for city residents and businesses. The bags can be picked up today at the DPW operations yard entrance near Marin and Kansas streets.\u003cstrong>\u003cbr>\n\u003c/strong>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>12:30 p.m. Friday Update:\u003c/strong> The worst of the early Friday morning storm is moving south from the Bay Area at this hour with the passage of a cold front, and the National Weather Service has canceled flood advisories for the South Bay and Santa Cruz and Monterey counties.

On the other side of the mountains, chains are required along stretches of U.S. 395 in Mono County.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The rainy weather caused more than 100 flight cancellations at San Francisco International Airport this morning, as well as flight delays of more than an hour. As of about noon, 51 arrivals and 52 departures had been canceled at SFO, airport duty manager Larry Mares said. Travelers whose flights have not been canceled are experiencing delays of about 30 to 60 minutes, with some flights delayed as much as 90 minutes.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>7:30 a.m. Friday Update:\u003c/strong> As advertised, a storm that swept in from the Pacific overnight has brought high winds and heavy rain this morning. The highest rain totals from the storm, which is sending waves of precipitation across the Bay Area from the south, are being recorded in the Santa Cruz Mountains and, further down the coast, in the Santa Lucia range.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>PG&E is reporting \u003ca href=\"http://www.pge.com/myhome/outages/outage/\" target=\"_blank\">widespread power outages\u003c/a> involving thousands of customers in western Marin and Sonoma counties, and thousands more along the coast down to Santa Barbara County and inland to the San Joaquin Valley.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The prolonged heavy rain in the South Bay prompted the National Weather Service to briefly issue a flash flood watch in an area straddling the Santa Clara, San Mateo and Santa Cruz county lines. That warning expired at 7:30 a.m.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>A much wider area of the Bay Area — virtually all of the Peninsula, the South Bay and East Bay — is under \u003ca href=\"http://forecast.weather.gov/showsigwx.php?warnzone=CAZ510&warncounty=CAC013&firewxzone=CAZ510&local_place1=&product1=Flood+Advisory#.UxCuwvS0_Rc\" target=\"_blank\">a flood advisory\u003c/a> through 8:30 a.m. (What is a flood advisory? It's really an alert you're going to find lots of water on roads, underpasses and the like.

The incoming storm will feature high winds, with gusts up to 45 mph or higher, along the coast and in the East Bay hills. Most coastal and valley locations in the region are expected to get 1 to 2 inches of rain, with 3 to 5 inches in the hills and perhaps much higher amounts in the mountains along the Big Sur coast.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Here's a snippet from one of our favorite pieces of periodical meteorological literature, the \u003ca href=\"http://www.wrh.noaa.gov/total_forecast/getprod.php?prod=XXXAFDMTR&wfo=MTR\" target=\"_blank\">Area Forecast Discussion\u003c/a> from the National Weather Service Bay Area office in Monterey:\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>A POWERFUL UPPER LOW AND ASSOCIATED STORM SYSTEM IS FORECAST TO\u003cbr>\nMOVE TOWARD THE COAST OVERNIGHT...WITH PERSISTENT MODERATE TO\u003cbr>\nHEAVY RAIN ARRIVING ALONG THE COAST RIGHT AROUND MIDNIGHT.

As for the Wednesday storm totals: The \u003ca href=\"http://www.wrh.noaa.gov/total_forecast/getprod.php?prod=XXXAFDMTR&wfo=MTR\" target=\"_blank\">National Weather Service's long but not quite comprehensive list shows\u003c/a> Monterey County locations got the highest amounts, with sites in the Santa Lucia Mountains inland from Big Sur getting nearly 4 inches in the past 24 hours. Many places in the Santa Cruz Mountains in the immediate Bay Area got close to 3 inches, and typically wet North Bay locations like Mount Tamalpais generally got somewhere between 1.25 and 2 inches. Bayside locations saw between half and three-quarters of an inch.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>Original post:\u003c/strong> In an \"ordinary\" Bay Area winter, there'd be nothing at all remarkable about today's weather. Rain? So what? In fact, confronted by a wet morning in a more typical late February, some among us might be saying, \"Enough already. When does spring get here?\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>But there's nothing typical, of course, about this dry, dry winter (and yes, when it comes to California's rainy season, variability is the norm). So that's why we'll assume -- feel free to back us up on this -- that aside from the chore of driving in the rain, the arrival of showers throughout the Bay Area this morning is cause for widespread if quiet rejoicing.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003ca href=\"http://www.wrh.noaa.gov/mtr/\" target=\"_blank\">National Weather Service\u003c/a> forecasters say the greater Bay Area — from the Sonoma-Mendocino county line down through the Salinas Valley, can expect 3 to 5 inches of rain from a series of storms between Wednesday and Saturday. Unlike the series of storms we saw earlier this month, when more than a foot of rain fell on ridgetop locations in Marin, Sonoma and Napa counties, precipitation will be more evenly distributed from north to south. The highest regional rain totals through Sunday, up to 6 inches, are forecast for the Santa Cruz Mountains and the Santa Lucia Range to the south. And the most copious precipitation statewide is expected in Southern California, where some mountain locations could see a foot of rain (or its equivalent in snow) by the end of the weekend.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>As for the Sierra snowpack, forecasters say 2 to 3 feet of snow could fall over the higher elevations, with the heaviest amounts coming toward the southern end of the mountain range. The mountain snowpack, a major reservoir for the state's annual water needs, is just 22 percent of normal for this time of year.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>As to the question that hangs over any discussion of rain during a drought: How much will the current series of storms help?\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>",
