What a difference a year makes! Left: 2019, Right: 2020. Sierra snow pack is below normal for this time of year, at about 58% statewide. Dry weather is expected to continue. #CAwx
🌾Although we had a wet start to our winter, 2020 has been very dry. We are not expecting that to change in the next two weeks, so if we don't receive any more rain in Feb, many of these locations will be nearing the driest combined Jan/Feb on record. #LArain#cawx#CArainfall
The 8 to 14 day precipitation outlook (February 18-24, 2020) from the NOAA NWS Climate Prediction Center favors below-normal precipitation across California.

Outside of the chance of scattered showers in parts of SoCal this weekend, conditions look quite dry for California over the next 2+ weeks. In fact, a strong & persistent North Pacific ridge may keep conditions much drier than average along the entire West Coast... #CAwx#ORwx
