The weekend storms that drenched the Bay Area left rain totals that are significant for April.
The biggest numbers came in the North Bay, according to data from the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration. Santa Rosa received 2.29 inches of rain; some nearby areas logged upwards of 3 inches.
The city averages 1.6 inches of rain for the entire month of April, based on the 1991-2020 climate average.
Parts of the South Bay received much less rain this weekend: San Jose registered only 0.71 inches over the past three days.
In the Sierra, the weekend storm produced feet of snow. UC Berkeley’s Central Sierra Snow Laboratory received more than 3.5 feet of snow over the past three days. Tahoe ski resorts also logged big snow totals, with Palisades Tahoe reporting 43 inches over the recent storm.
The statewide snowpack remains well below average, however, at just 23% of normal for this time of year, as of Monday. An exceptionally warm and dry March contributed to the second-lowest snowpack measured in modern times earlier this month.
