Bay Area, California Sees Significant Improvement in Drought Situation

California continues to see a significant improvement in drought conditions as 12 storms swept through the state in 22 days.

Prior to the parade of storms, 35% of the state was in severe drought and 7% was in exceptional drought.

At the time of Thursday’s drought monitoring update, there was no longer an extreme or exceptional drought. Most of the Bay Area remains in moderate drought.
