How much rain did some Northern California cities get in April? Here's a quick look at the numbers

APRIL SHOWERS BRING MAY FLOWERS, NORTHERN CALIFORNIA SAW PLENTY OF WET WEATHER THIS MONTH, WITH JUST OVER A DAY LEFT UNTIL WE ROLL OVER. IT’S HARD TO BELIEVE MAY ALREADY RIGHT? SO WE JUST WANTED TO SEE JUST HOW MUCH RAIN ACTUALLY FELL OVER THE PAST MONTH, METEOROLOGIST KELLY CURRAN HAS BEEN LOOKING AT THE RECORDS AND OUR NUMBERS TO SEE WHAT APRIL LOOKED LIKE. WELL, WE DEFINITELY GOT QUITE A BIT OF RAIN IN APRIL, MORE THAN WE TYPICALLY SEE, BUT WE’RE STILL BELOW NORMAL WHEN IT COMES TO WHAT WE SHOULD SEE FOR THE RAIN SEASON. SO FAR. HERE’S A LOOK AT WHAT WE’VE BEEN DEALING WITH. SO OBVIOUSLY YESTERDAY. NOTHING, RIGHT? IT WAS A BEAUTIFUL WEEKEND, BUT WE DID PICK UP A LITTLE BIT OF RAIN ON FRIDAY, SO THE APRIL TOTAL NOW FOR SACRAMENTO 1.72IN. SO ABOUT A THIRD OF AN INCH ABOVE NORMAL. THAT’S GREAT NEWS. BUT FOR THE SEASON WE’RE ABOUT A HALF AN INCH BELOW WHERE WE SHOULD BE, WHICH IS ABOUT 97% OF THE NORMAL. SO A LITTLE BIT BELOW NORMAL. LET’S COMPARE THAT TO SOME OTHER CITIES. SO STOCKTON MODESTO, BOTH ABOVE NORMAL FOR THE RAIN SEASON SO FAR. IN FACT. STOCKTON 109% OF NORMAL. BUT MODESTO. 147% OF NORMAL SOUTH LAKE TAHOE. SO STILL QUITE A BIT BELOW AND HAS A WAYS TO CATCH UP AND WITH AT LEAST POTENTIAL TO SEE SOME WET WEATHER IN MAY. THAT’S SOMETHING WE’RE GOING TO BE KEEPING A VERY CLOSE EYE ON. BACK TO
