A bit better than last year so far, but not so great. Time will tell.

If that comes to pass, this following week could finally bring in some big weather. So far this year outside the one big mid October storm, this winter has been rather droughty. Lots of small storms piddling on the north part of the state making surface mud. This winter has reminded me of a few of our drier years like those in the late 80s. Some winters the jetstream will move south into California only once or twice during January/February period. We'll get a series of big storms that drops most of the winter's precip before the jetstream moves back north and then rest of the winter goes back to dry. However we've also had a few winters where the first half was dry and then flip flopped into a long wet pattern.

THERE WILL BE A BREAK IN THE WEATHER THIS WEEKEND...THEN A SERIES OF
STORMS IS EXPECTED TO IMPACT THE AREA DURING THE EARLY TO MIDDLE
PART OF NEXT WEEK. THERE IS STILL A LOT OF UNCERTAINTY ABOUT THE
TIMING AND RAINFALL AMOUNTS...BUT THESE STORMS HAVE THE POTENTIAL TO
BE QUITE VIGOROUS...AND COULD BRING LARGE RAINFALL TOTALS TO THE
LOWER ELEVATIONS AND HEAVY SNOW TO THE MOUNTAINS. RAINFALL
ACCUMULATIONS THROUGH MID WEEK COULD TOTAL SEVERAL INCHES.
IF RAIN DEVELOPS AS EXPECTED THEN THERE WILL BE A POTENTIAL
OF FLASH FLOODING...MUD AND DEBRIS FLOW...ESPECIALLY IN AND BELOW
RECENTLY BURNED AREAS. THE RAIN WILL MAKE ROADS SLICK AND TRAVEL
THROUGH THE HIGHER ELEVATIONS OF THE MOUNTAINS COULD BECOME
HAZARDOUS DUE TO SNOW AND BLOWING SNOW.

stronger and wetter systems will begin Sunday and continue into next week. Although timing of individual storms is difficult at this point... it looks like every 24 to 36 hours a system will move through. Rainfall totals by the end of next week could exceed 5 to 10 inches in the lower elevations with snow amounts of 10 feet or more possible over the higher Sierra Nevada.
