Friday Top of the Scroll: California drought conditions improved in December
Severe drought conditions that plagued California one month ago diminished in parts of the state due in part to a series of early winter storms, this week’s U.S. Drought Monitor report shows. Most of California, except for the extreme northwest corner, remains is some level of drought this week, but conditions improved significantly in the most severe categories. The weekly report released Thursday shows exceptional drought was nearly erased after 28 percent of the state was under the most severe category in the first week of December.
