Heavy Rain — Central Sjv, California

1998-09-09 · Central Sjv, California

Event narrative

Coldfrontal passage through the northern portion of Central California on Sept 9th did not provide any especially inclement weather. However, it is worth mentioning because of the previous elongated rainy season supported by an El Nino in the mid-Pacific. The late arrival of summer (early July) in combination with some "cool" season shower activity from the 9th's weak coldfrontal passage began to cause problems. The growing season was offset later in the year and the "normal" arrival of fall was not a good combination for besieged local agriculture.
