Dry Pattern to Continue for Drought-Stricken California

A dry weather pattern has returned to much of California after the recent spell of rainy weather, leaving residents wondering when they will see rain again.
Although no major storms are on the horizon, moisture streaming over the Pacific Northwest will occasionally dip southward, bringing a few opportunities for rain in northern and central California through next week.
Despite some rain in the forecast, it does not appear like it will be enough to have a meaningful impact on the severe drought gripping nearly all of the state.
Rounds of rain will be seen over northern portions of the state through midweek with the moisture taking its first dip southward on Thursday. This will bring the next chance of rain to cities such as San Francisco, Sacramento, Fresno and Redding.
This swath of moisture looks to depart the region by Friday before diving southward once again on Sunday, affecting the same areas.
After this second push, it does not appear like any rain will be seen over the state until at least the end of next week, possibly longer.
Unfortunately, this rain is not forecast to reach Southern California, keeping cities such as Los Angeles and San Diego dry all the way through next week.
