Sierra snowpack sees promising start as California water officials take first survey of 2025

California's snowpack measurements indicate a solid start to the water year, but uneven distribution of snow remains a significant concern.

Water content of California's snowpack is well below normal, but a new round of storms approaches

The water content of California's mountain snowpack is only 52% of the average to date.
Last winter had above average snowpack and filled reservoirs, but this year's El Niño has delivered below average precipitation.

Major Storm Dumps Snow On the Sierra as California Chases an Average Snowpack | KQED

California's snowpack increased by 26% in February, now at 80% of average.
March will be critical to determine if the snowpack finishes above or below average.

Average is awesome': California pleased with result of critical snowpack survey

California's snowpack measurement at roughly 110% of average is considered rare in a changing climate.
The snowpack in California serves as a crucial water supply indicator for the state, impacting reservoirs, rivers, and soil moisture.

Bay Area rain chart: Totals from 5 days of atmospheric river storms

The Bay Area experienced heavy rainfall from Jan. 31 to Feb. 5, with some locations receiving over 8 inches of rain.
The strongest wave of precipitation occurred from Saturday night to early Monday, accounting for nearly half of the total rainfall.

A look at atmospheric rivers, the long bands of water vapor that form over oceans and fuel storms

Atmospheric rivers are long bands of water vapor that transport moisture from the tropics to northern latitudes.
They can cause storms that produce flooding and mudslides, but they are also vital to water supplies.
