closer look down and what a difference a week makes. last week's conditions on the left there. current conditions on the right. you see how a big area, especially in the north bay yeah, all up into northern california. those coastal areas really got hit hard and this is showing the difference. but all that rain wasn't enougo to totally replenish these low reservoir obviously from last thursday to this tuesday. reservoirs did have more water, of course, going to the east bay mud telling us the rain it's all over the weekend. is about a 3rd of all the precipitation that we got all of last year. meanwhile in the north bay about 18 inches fell across marin county. that means the u.s. drought monitor now believes that marine and most of sonoma have move from exceptional drought to extreme drought and again, doesn't sound like much, but it is an improvement. we'll take anything we can get before these recent storms of the

weekend marines reservoirs were only at about 33% of capacity after the storms over the weekend. the reservoirs are up to. yeah. just over 50%, full. still leaders that marines water district say they will keep water use restrictions in place. >> and we need to continue to conserve water and use it as efficiently as we can. we really can't predict what will have a reservoir is back up to average storage and we need to stay the course and continue to use water as wise as they can. >> the marine water district officials also say from december to may next year. all outdoor irrigation is going to be banned. the idea there get every single drop of rain water into reservoirs. seamer in gets almost all of its water from local rainfall and leaders there despite the rain are still moving forward with a 90 million dollar plan to possibly build a big old water pipeline across the richmond. sandra fell bridge that couldn't would be used to move
