According to the US Drought Monitor, out West, recent storms and overall
improving conditions on short-term indicators (precipitation, soil
moisture, streamflows) led to improvements on the map in California
(eastern Sierra, Mojave Desert).
In California, the NWS Forecast Office in Los Angeles is reporting that
November was one of the wettest Novembers in the last 50+ years across
southwestern California.
Moreover, the city of Santa Barbara has reported the wettest water-year
start on record through November with over 9.5 inches observed.
Other areas in Santa Barbara County, including areas of the Santa Ynez
Mountains, have received over 15 inches for the contemporaneous period.
