Wintry conditions to sweep through western US in coming days
Fall started off dry for many in the West, but as the wet season nears, a change in the weather is set to bring rain, mountain snow and cooler conditions…. The dry conditions have spread from Seattle… to Sacramento, California, where only 0.28 of an inch has fallen in the same time, a mere 33% of average…. Whether precipitation falls as rain or snow, the influx of moisture will help to improve the stubborn drought across the region…. More than 40% of California is in the throes of extreme drought, so rain and mountain snow are desperately needed in the Golden State.
