By the 1920s, a lot of Allensworth’s original settlers had moved away.

By the 1920s, a lot of Allensworth’s original settlers had moved away.

Right now, forecasters say there's very little chance of rain over the central Bay Area or South Bay during the week and that the one place that might see a little rain is northern Sonoma County. And if you're thinking about when the next real storm might come barging through, the NWS says: \"Longer-range outlook going through all of next week keeps the main storm track to the north and shows a higher than normal chance for drier-than-normal conditions with above-normal temperatures.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>Update: 3 p.m. Sunday:\u003c/strong> The National Weather Service has issued \u003ca href=\"http://forecast.weather.gov/wwamap/wwatxtget.php?cwa=mtr&wwa=flash%20flood%20watch\" target=\"_blank\">a flash flood watch for Marin, Sonoma and Napa counties\u003c/a> effective through 9 p.m.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[contextly_sidebar id=\"707d99601ca7a088a7a24560d28609e4\"]\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The North Bay has been at the receiving end for more than 24 hours of a fire hose feeding moisture from the tropics southwest of Hawaii all the way to the coast north of the Golden Gate. Flooding in Sonoma County closed a number of rural roads Saturday and Sunday (see \u003ca href=\"http://roadconditions.sonoma-county.org/\" target=\"_blank\">the county's current road closures list\u003c/a>). The Press Democrat in Santa Rosa features \u003ca href=\"http://www.pressdemocrat.com/gallery/gallery/20140208.208009996.html\" target=\"_blank\">a good picture gallery\u003c/a> of shots from around the county.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The storm has brought a fantastic-sounding amount of rain to some of the highland areas north of the Golden Gate. Some locales in the Russian River watershed had gotten close to a foot of rain in the 72 hours beginning Wednesday afternoon and ending Saturday at 4 p.m.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[ad fullwidth]\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>But the most startling rainfall report I've seen as I look through the various precipitation tables comes from the \u003ca href=\"http://www.wrh.noaa.gov/mesowest/getobext.php?wfo=mtr&sid=MDEC1&num=72&raw=0\" target=\"_blank\">Middle Peak rain gauge\u003c/a> on Mount Tamalpais. More than 10 inches of rain fell there Saturday, and the total since the current round of wet weather began Wednesday evening is \u003cdel datetime=\"2014-02-09T20:38:00+00:00\">15.73 inches\u003c/del> \u003cstrong>20.67 inches \u003c/strong>(and counting).\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Yes, Mount Tamalpais is a famously wet place during winter storms. \u003ca href=\"http://www.marinwater.org/documents/Rainfall_History_Lake_Lagunitas.pdf\" target=\"_blank\">Rainfall at Lake Lagunitas\u003c/a>, a small reservoir on the north flank of the mountain, averages 52 inches of rain a year (compared with about 21 inches a year in downtown San Francisco, about 10 miles or so away). But, like the rest of the state, it's been dry up there this year. Middle Peak got just .06 of an inch of rain in January -- the same as San Francisco -- and for the water year beginning last July 1, it had recorded 7.28 inches of precipitation before the first drops of rain started to fall around sunset on Wednesday. Going into Sunday morning, that total stands at \u003cdel datetime=\"2014-02-09T20:38:00+00:00\">23.01 inches\u003c/del> \u003cstrong>27.95 inches\u003c/strong>. It'll be interesting to see how that affects the water supply for the Marin Municipal Water District, which is almost entirely dependent on storing water running off Mount Tam. As of last week, the district's reservoirs were a little more than half full and at just \u003ca href=\"http://www.marinwater.org/documents/waterwatch140202.pdf\" target=\"_blank\">64 percent of average storage\u003c/a> for this time of year.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>It's safe to say the rest of the Bay Area hasn't seen anything like the deluge that's been pouring down on the North Bay. But most of the region have gotten a decent soaking. The big exception so far: most of the South Bay east of the Skyline Boulevard crest and Santa Cruz Mountains. For instance, Palo Alto got .12 of an inch and Moffett Field .13 in the 72 hours ending Sunday morning. Yes, that's less than 1 percent of what's fallen on Mount Tam, a result of topography and the fact that the richest source of moisture for the current storm has been focused far to the north of Silicon Valley.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Here's the NWS regional rainfall report with three-day storm totals for dozens of locations through Sunday morning:\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>\u003ca href=\"//www.wrh.noaa.gov/total_forecast/getprod.php?wfo=mtr&pil=PNS&sid=MTR&version=0\">Public Information Statement: 3-Day Rainfall Reports\u003c/a>\u003c/strong>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>Update, 1:45 p.m. Saturday: \u003c/strong> First, let's remind everyone: The drought's not over.

This morning's \u003ca href=\"http://www.wrh.noaa.gov/total_forecast/getprod.php?prod=XXXAFDMTR&wfo=MTR\" target=\"_blank\">forecast discussion from the National Weather Service Bay Area office in Monterey\u003c/a> is calling for a \"fairly quiet week\" ahead. Right now, forecasters say there's very little chance of rain over the central Bay Area or South Bay during the week and that the one place that might see a little rain is northern Sonoma County. And if you're thinking about when the next real storm might come barging through, the NWS says: \"Longer-range outlook going through all of next week keeps the main storm track to the north and shows a higher than normal chance for drier-than-normal conditions with above-normal temperatures.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>Update: 3 p.m. Sunday:\u003c/strong> The National Weather Service has issued \u003ca href=\"http://forecast.weather.gov/wwamap/wwatxtget.php?cwa=mtr&wwa=flash%20flood%20watch\" target=\"_blank\">a flash flood watch for Marin, Sonoma and Napa counties\u003c/a> effective through 9 p.m.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\u003cp>\u003c/p>\u003cp>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The North Bay has been at the receiving end for more than 24 hours of a fire hose feeding moisture from the tropics southwest of Hawaii all the way to the coast north of the Golden Gate. Flooding in Sonoma County closed a number of rural roads Saturday and Sunday (see \u003ca href=\"http://roadconditions.sonoma-county.org/\" target=\"_blank\">the county's current road closures list\u003c/a>). The Press Democrat in Santa Rosa features \u003ca href=\"http://www.pressdemocrat.com/gallery/gallery/20140208.208009996.html\" target=\"_blank\">a good picture gallery\u003c/a> of shots from around the county.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The storm has brought a fantastic-sounding amount of rain to some of the highland areas north of the Golden Gate. Some locales in the Russian River watershed had gotten close to a foot of rain in the 72 hours beginning Wednesday afternoon and ending Saturday at 4 p.m.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\u003c/div>","attributes":{"named":{},"numeric":[]}},{"type":"component","content":"","name":"ad","attributes":{"named":{"label":"fullwidth"},"numeric":["fullwidth"]}},{"type":"contentString","content":"\u003cdiv class=\"post-body\">\u003cp>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>But the most startling rainfall report I've seen as I look through the various precipitation tables comes from the \u003ca href=\"http://www.wrh.noaa.gov/mesowest/getobext.php?wfo=mtr&sid=MDEC1&num=72&raw=0\" target=\"_blank\">Middle Peak rain gauge\u003c/a> on Mount Tamalpais. More than 10 inches of rain fell there Saturday, and the total since the current round of wet weather began Wednesday evening is \u003cdel datetime=\"2014-02-09T20:38:00+00:00\">15.73 inches\u003c/del> \u003cstrong>20.67 inches \u003c/strong>(and counting).\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Yes, Mount Tamalpais is a famously wet place during winter storms. \u003ca href=\"http://www.marinwater.org/documents/Rainfall_History_Lake_Lagunitas.pdf\" target=\"_blank\">Rainfall at Lake Lagunitas\u003c/a>, a small reservoir on the north flank of the mountain, averages 52 inches of rain a year (compared with about 21 inches a year in downtown San Francisco, about 10 miles or so away). But, like the rest of the state, it's been dry up there this year. Middle Peak got just .06 of an inch of rain in January -- the same as San Francisco -- and for the water year beginning last July 1, it had recorded 7.28 inches of precipitation before the first drops of rain started to fall around sunset on Wednesday. Going into Sunday morning, that total stands at \u003cdel datetime=\"2014-02-09T20:38:00+00:00\">23.01 inches\u003c/del> \u003cstrong>27.95 inches\u003c/strong>. It'll be interesting to see how that affects the water supply for the Marin Municipal Water District, which is almost entirely dependent on storing water running off Mount Tam. As of last week, the district's reservoirs were a little more than half full and at just \u003ca href=\"http://www.marinwater.org/documents/waterwatch140202.pdf\" target=\"_blank\">64 percent of average storage\u003c/a> for this time of year.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>It's safe to say the rest of the Bay Area hasn't seen anything like the deluge that's been pouring down on the North Bay. But most of the region have gotten a decent soaking. The big exception so far: most of the South Bay east of the Skyline Boulevard crest and Santa Cruz Mountains. For instance, Palo Alto got .12 of an inch and Moffett Field .13 in the 72 hours ending Sunday morning. Yes, that's less than 1 percent of what's fallen on Mount Tam, a result of topography and the fact that the richest source of moisture for the current storm has been focused far to the north of Silicon Valley.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Here's the NWS regional rainfall report with three-day storm totals for dozens of locations through Sunday morning:\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>\u003ca href=\"//www.wrh.noaa.gov/total_forecast/getprod.php?wfo=mtr&pil=PNS&sid=MTR&version=0\">Public Information Statement: 3-Day Rainfall Reports\u003c/a>\u003c/strong>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>Update, 1:45 p.m. Saturday: \u003c/strong> First, let's remind everyone: The drought's not over.
