California experienced yet another string of wet days over the weekend and early this week, causing extensive flood damage across parts of the state and drenching an already-soggy region this winter.

Another atmospheric river event targeted California over the weekend, sending multiple back-to-back waves of rain and mountain snow to the state through early Tuesday morning. The weekend storm was much wetter than the storm that followed over Monday-Tuesday, with combined totals for both storms ranging from as high as 4.79 inches in Fallbrook, to as low as 0.92 inches in Pinon Hills. Precipitation amounts for WeatherCurrents previously experiencing rain gauge outages in Murrieta and Perris were corrected and adjusted. The majority of WeatherCurrents stations recorded between 2 and 4 inches of rain between Saturday and Tuesday. Southwestern Riverside County, particularly in and around the Temecula Valley, tended to be wetter than the eastern valleys. In Temecula Valley's Wine Country, 4.12 inches was reported through Tuesday (courtesy of Jim Sappington), while in Yucaipa, a total of 2.92 inches was reported (courtesy of Don Kramer).

The excess rainfall in recent weeks has pushed season totals across much of Southern California into above-average ranges for the time of year. Aside from a minor disturbance Thursday, Southern California looks to finally dry out for at least the next several weeks, in what would be the first extended period without any storms since November. Offshore flow is forecast to develop on and off going into early next week, however temperatures are expected to remain cooler than average.

Here are the rain totals for the WeatherCurrents network and associates:
