"The Bay Area received rain over four days during the past week, although it was distributed unevenly with the North Bay having more on some days and the South Bay getting wetter later in the week. With at least 10 days of sunny weather expected in the forecast through mid-October, dry conditions are back. And the light rain of the past week wasn't enough to end fire season, experts say."
"As is often the case, the highest elevations in the Greater Bay Area received the most rain. In short, the fall-winter rainy season got off to a decent start, although we won't know until March or April whether this winter refills reservoirs again like the past three years or mostly fails to deliver like the most recent dry spell from 2020 to 2022."
Rain fell across the Bay Area over four days with uneven distribution: North Bay wetter on some days and South Bay wetter later. Highest elevations received the most rain. Light totals ranged from 2.79 inches at Mount Tamalpais to trace amounts near Marina and Pinnacles. The rain cleared dust, smoke and pollutants and temporarily reduced fire risk, but totals were insufficient to end fire season. Forecasts show at least ten sunny days through mid-October, returning dry conditions. The fall-winter rainy season got off to a decent start, but reservoir recovery will become clear only by March or April.
