Sonoma County is drying out today after a series of April showers dumped over two inches of rain on Santa Rosa, reportedly causing at least one tree to collapse in Rincon Valley.
Per the Press Democrat, while the fallen tree damaged a parked vehicle, no injuries were reported despite wind gusts reaching 28 mph during the peak of the storm. Meteorologists expect a brief reprieve today with temperatures climbing into the 70s, giving residents a welcome break from the recent downpours.
However, the umbrellas won’t stay tucked away for long, as light rain is forecasted for this weekend with more measurable precipitation expected next week. Forecasters remind residents that while the sun is out now, “April showers” are likely to persist through the end of the month.
The recent storm totals reached nearly 1.9 inches at the Napa County Airport, proving that spring is still very much in a wet cycle.
