the snowpack in the Sierra Nevada has recovered to near-average levels,
the southern part of the mountain range has less than average snowpack.
Rainfall:
Broad swaths of Southern California remain exceptionally dry and below average for rainfall. The Los Angeles region has only received 45% of its average rainfall so far this water year.
Water Supply:
The regional disparity in snowpack affects how much water the State Water Project will be able to deliver.
La Niña:
La
Niña conditions, which historically increase the chances of normal to
dry winters in southern California, are expected to persist in the
near-term.
Drought Monitor:
The U.S. Drought Monitor shows that 44% of California is no longer under any drought classification.
Drought Conditions:
