California drought eased but groundwater remains a concern
Rain and heavy snow since late last year have reduced drought in about half the state, with three regions now drought free. Central Sierra and foothills, central coast, and parts of the far north reach abnormally dry or drought-free status. Groundwater levels remain low despite above normal snowpack and reservoirs refilling. The Sierra snowpack content neared 170 percent of the April average, suggesting a potential record, while outlooks project continued wet conditions in northern California.
