"Decoding California's Unpredictable Winter through 7 Charts"

California experienced an unusual winter with more than 30 atmospheric river storms, 97 mph wind gusts, destructive tidal surges, bomb cyclones, flash floods, and record-breaking snowfall. The drought is over in most of the state, but groundwater levels are still below average. Precipitation in the last 90 days was 150% or more of average in much of the Bay Area, and some parts of the state received more than double the usual precipitation. Most of California's major reservoirs are above normal levels, and the snowpack is at 244% of normal for this time of year. However, experts are concerned that high temperatures could melt the snowpack too quickly and trigger major floods in the spring.
