| Episode narrativeepisode_narrative | A cold, unstable airmass settled into central California on May 22nd, bringing showers to the Southern Sierra Nevada and Tehachapi Mountains, with measurable snow falling below 5000 feet in the Tehachapis, and down to 6500 feet in the Southern Sierra Nevada. During the morning of the 23rd, showers drifted north from the Tehachapi Mountains into the south end of the San Joaquin Valley. By midday, these showers had moved as far north as Bakersfield, where a record-breaking 0.08 inch of rain fell at Meadows Field. This was the first measurable rain to fall in Bakersfield since February 24th, ending an 87-day period without measurable rain. The next day, Fresno recorded its first measurable rain since March 15, ending a 69-day period with no measurable rain. The storm brought the only measurable rains for the month to Bakersfield (storm total: 0.08 inch) and Fresno (0.30 inch). The rain did keep Bakersfield from solely having the driest March-May period on record; the 0.08 inch for the period tied March-May 1992 for the driest ���spring.���||Heavy rain also occurred at Oakhurst in Madera County, where brief heavy rain caused minor flooding of local streets and ditches. |
