Several temperature records could be broken Wednesday, according to the weather service.
Large atmospheric river storms in October and December raised homes of ending California’s drought, which is going into its third year, but January and February were the driest on record dating back to 1921. The statewide Sierra Nevada snowpack, which fulfills about 30% of the state’s water needs, was at 168% of normal on New Year’s Day but shrunk down to 52% as of Tuesday, according to the California Department of Water Resources.
“As far as fire concerns go, we’re doing better this year than last year,” Murdock said. “We had one atmospheric river storm January 2021 and a few chances for rain but that was our big rain event. This year, we had those big storms in October and January and we’ve been coasting on that for a while.
