Rainfall boosts Bay Area water levels; storm isn't over
Published on March 03, 2018 at 06:23PM by By Sophie Haigney
Recent storms have dropped more than an inch of rain in San Francisco and blanketed the Sierra with snow, but water levels and snowpack around the state are still lagging far below normal. “It was a few drops in the bucket at least,” Scott Rowe, a meteorologist with the National Weather Service in Monterey, said Saturday. In San Francisco, slightly more than 1.2 inches of rain has fallen since Wednesday, with almost 1.4 inches at San Francisco International Airport. Numbers were similar in the East Bay and South Bay: Oakland got 1.13 inches, and San Jose Airport just over an inch. The North Bay fared better, with Santa Rosa recording a little more than 2 inches of rain and Napa getting almost 1.8 inches.
