The current rainfall has made more than a drop in the bucket for the typically dry region, while SoCal’s mountain ranges have been pummeled with snow.
Although a barrage of rare storms has pummeled Southern California with rain, snow, and hail in recent weeks, the National Weather Service said it isn’t likely California’s drought will be over soon.
As for the Inland Empire, it appears Ontario is leading the charge for rainfall highs, according to Connolly. That city received about 16 inches of precipitation so far — which is 6 inches more than usual. At nearly 9 inches this season, Riverside was about 2 inches ahead of its normal totals, she added.
“Anything we can get definitely improves the Drought Monitor, but to entirely eliminate it takes quite a bit,” she said. In Los Angeles County, NWS meteorologist Joe Sirard also noted that drought conditions are tied to the groundwater supply.
