ter one of the driest Januarys ever in California, there may be a glimmer of hope for the parched state: There's a slight chance of above-normal rainfall for Southern California over the next three months and an even chance for the rest, according to the latest climate models.
But when the drought will end remains an open question.
Long-range weather is notoriously difficult to predict, but modeling done by the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration, based on sea surface temperatures and other factors, show a possibility that Southern California could experience slightly above-normal rain in the February-through-April period.
"They're hedging slightly to above normal but barely above normal," said Jayme Laber, a hydrologist with the National Weather Service in Oxnard, who did not work on the modeling. "If we could just get a normal amount of rain, it would be better than what we have."

Just as long as the Colorado River gets above normal rain, that would be okay for Los Angeles since much of their water comes from the Colorado River. It may be the first time we’ve seen Lake Mead nearly full in quite a while.
