Winter storms end drought in California’s Central Valley

The Central Valley and a stretch of the California coast from Los Angeles County west to the Oregon border are no longer in drought, according to the Drought Monitor.

Thirty-six percent of the state is in moderate drought, the least severe of the four drought categories in the weekly report. At the start of the hydrological year at the end of September, that figure was 99.76 percent.
