California Drought Outlook Gets Good News After 'Biblical' Blizzard

 

Snow is piled up under I-80 following a massive snowstorm in the Sierra Nevada mountains on March 04, 2024 near Soda Springs, California. The "biblical" blizzard has increased the odds that California won't experience drought through 2025, AccuWeather said.

A blizzard that pummeled California over the weekend has brought good news regarding the state's drought outlook.

The massive storm started late last week and brought more than 100 inches of snow to some high-elevation areas. 

The blizzard followed a slew of atmospheric rivers that brought a deluge of rain to the state. The weather has 

drenched California this winter, and several cities have already surpassed their annual average rainfall amounts. 

AccuWeather meteorologists expect that the influx of water has eliminated one of California's biggest problems, at least temporarily.
