There's Basically No Chance California's Drought Will End by Spring

The odds that the California drought will end by the time the dry season starts on April 1 are looking less likely by the day. According to the National Weather Service (NWS), the chances that the state will receive enough rain and snow to qualify as an "average" wet season are about 1 in 1,000, or 0.1%. This is changed from an estimate of about 1 in 200 in mid-January, the NWS said in a Facebook post on Monday.
