| episode_narrative | While much of December was relatively dry in Interior Central California with a brief 2-day period of rain on the 7th and 8th, the last 5 days of the month became exceptionally wet and extended well into January. Daily record rainfalls were recorded at Bakersfield on the 30th and 31st in the South San Joaquin Valley with amounts of 0.40" and 0.38", respectively, and in Fresno in the Central San Joaquin Valley on the 28th when 0.72" of rain fell. Continued unsettled weather over the last of the month led to large amounts of urban and rural ponding on the Central and South San Joaquin Valley floor and Kern County Desert areas, and full small streams in the adjacent foothill areas. Fresno ended the month with 3.16" of rain which is more than double its normal rainfall. In the South Valley Bakersfield received 1.09" or rain compared to its normal of 0.76". By the morning of the 31st ponding caused problems near Winton in Merced County with loosed boulders onto roadways in the foothills of Madera County near Bass Lake. In Fresno County by the morning of the 31st numerous reports of urban ponding in the city of Fresno and small stream flooding were reported from Coalinga on the west side of the San Joaquin Valley to loosed boulders in the foothills and mountains of the county due to the continued precipitation. |
