As a slew of storms batters California, the U.S. Drought Monitor map shows a promising forecast that indicates California's water crisis may be nearing its end. Two atmospheric rivers recently dumped excessive precipitation on the state in less than a week, following an uncommonly wet winter in California. The weather patterns have eased drought throughout the state, removing all of California from the extreme and exceptional drought categories, as documented by the Drought Monitor map. Now, more than 44 percent of the state is completely free from drought.
