Despite the impressive start to California's rainy season, weather experts say we can't get too comfortable.
Many may assume that the torrential downpours experienced across the Bay Area in the past month and a half are a good projection of how the rainy season is going to go, but Sean Miller, meteorologist with the National Weather Service, warned that this is not the case.
"Unfortunately no," Miller told KCBS Radio. "We got really lucky we got those good systems now, but we have to see how that plays out."
The Bay Area may even be in for a dry rest of November, as weather forecasts predict dreary skies with gray clouds but no rain.
"Over the next week or so, I don't see anything like an atmospheric river on the horizon," Miller said. "It's fairly quiet. It doesn't seem like we're going to see anything."
Weather forecasts are volatile so things may change, but so far nothing is standing out, Miller said. However, residents should not despair as it's only early days in California's rainy season. We have until the spring for more torrential downpours.
Santa Rosa Fire Department officials declared last Tuesday that this year's fire season officially over in the city.
