More than eighth-tenths of an inch of rain has fallen in Fresno since Friday. And, while not a “March Miracle,” this latest storm has pushed the monthly total to 2 inches — with the promise of more Thursday.
Here are a few updated numbers for precipitation fanatics courtesy of the National Weather Service.
Fresno is at 5.51 inches for the 2019-20 water year through Tuesday. That compares to an average of 9.72 inches through the end of March and the full-season average of 11.50 inches.
410 pm radar update shows showers and thunderstorm moving to the east across the area. This activity will continue through sunset with brief heavy rain, small hail and gusty winds. #CAwx pic.twitter.com/EPFgtWha6A
