El Niño: What took you so long?
All winter long, drought-weary Californians have been waiting for the record strong El Niño event to spawn a parade of moisture-laden storms that would pinwheel their way toward the state from the Pacific Ocean. That looks like it will finally materialize this weekend, lasting through most of next week.*
It's **t yet clear how much the parade of storms, including at least two bona fide "atmospheric river" events, will help the state climb out from under the burden of a monumental precipitation deficit accrued during the worst drought on record (http://mashable.com/2015/04/02/california-drought-preview-global-warming-megadrought/).
