OK now it's no longer a question. Rain and snow, and lots of it.

I'm pretty sure that isn't going to be the case.

Time will tell!

For the record, average rainfall in my county for the entire season is 13.63". As of Sunday evening we were at 5.07". So, there's quite a ways to go just to get to average, let alone above average.

Having reservoirs already full and snowpack remaining from last year does not automatically make this year's precipitation "above average."

More than 10 inches of rain has fallen across the Los Angeles area since Sunday, with plenty more to come.

That's incorrect as written; more than 10 inches fell in a few specific locations. Not across the LA area.

In Orange County, the total of the past 48 hours through 5pm today was 4" in a few inland locations; less elsewhere. Costa Mesa, where John Wayne Airport is and where the official county total is recorded, got 1.77".

I'm shocked. The NWS is wrong?

Yes, the headline "10 inches falls across the LA area" is wrong if one takes it to mean that 10 inches of rain fell in all locations of the LA area. Are you even familiar with the LA area, out there in Tennessee? The LA area is huge and geographically very diverse.

Here are totals, reported by the NWS, from across the county for the past 48 hours through 4:30pm today: https://forecast.weather.gov/product...OX&product=RRM

They range from 0.99 to 11.64 inches.

Downtown LA, 7 inches.

LAX, 4.2 inches.

UCLA has recorded nearly 12 inches of rain in the last 24 hours, a 1 in 1000-year rainfall rainfall event for Westwood.

Now every reservoir is above the historic average.

Oroville had to open the floodgates as well. As did Shasta and Keswick and the New Melones Reservoir
