While the deluge over the weekend may have put an end to wildfire season, ending the drought is going to take a lot more than one atmospheric river.
Meteorologist Jan Null, a longtime weather guru, estimates that California will need more than 140% of our normal rainfall to end the drought.
Here’s hoping we get more atmospheric rivers, “bomb cyclones” or whatever develops as the latest wet, catchy term.
I, for one, am breathing a sigh of relief after months of being on hair-trigger fire alert.
