Just in time. My look at the Bay Area rainfall situation . Here's a preview.

Interesting info, thanks for sharing. Curious at how it is collected for each location. Some incongruities seem to pop up, like Martinez is way above normal, while Benicia is at normal. Similarly Danville is slightly up, yet Walnut Creek and Dublin are both way up. . . .I'd imagine taken as a whole, the data averages out and shows that overall, we've had a ton of rain.

Large disparity between Gilroy and Hollister, two towns that are virtually adjacent.

Gilroy & Hollister are 15 miles apart.
I was shocked when I saw how little rain has been recorded at San Jose (7.7" since October 1)

I found a map-based version from NOAA showing this data.  These show Water Year rain (October 1 to January 11).  

1. The first shows the actual values (inches) at stations with the color background giving the general area values.
   
2. The second shows percent of normal.
   
3. California, showing percent of normal.
   
4. California snow pack, percent of April 1 normal
   

You can see San Jose Airport stand out at 7.68"(light blue) and 147% (sky blue).
There are some lower percentages near Santa Rosa.  Napa stands out.




(Someone wondered how posts include images.  AFAICT, the CardBoard does not support attachments.  You can post links to images stored elsewhere.  If you click on one of the thumbnails above, you will see a link to the service where I upload (for free) images for use here.)
