Rain and Snow Forecast by National Weather Service Passes with Little Precipitation

UPATE–Frazier Park, CA (Thursday, April 9, 2015 at 10 a.m.)—The storm warnings have passed and so has the prospect of precipitation, it appears. There was only .1 (1/10) inch measured at 6,000 feet in the Pine Mountain area. We’ll check for readings from Frazier Park and Lebec, but beyond a few gusts of wind and some light drizzle, it appears there was little to alleviate the drought conditions in this week’s storm.
