CA welcomes much needed rain

Finally the rain is here in California!
California has seen the worst drought in history (ask @JayFamiglietti, for example!).

I would be interested to see how the map is updated after these rainy couple of days:

Howver, this weekend and through few of the weekdays, we will see some rain. Below I have copied snapshots of weather by NOAA.

The situation is almost like a welcome a song from the Bollywood movie "Lagaan" where they sing to the incoming rain.



Watch the beautiful GOES west view here:
