The February and March storms, fueled by atmospheric rivers as they moved over the Pacific, have knocked out drought in Southern California and much of California.

In this week's U.S. Drought Monitor update, all of Los Angeles, Ventura and Orange counties are no longer in a drought category.

Statewide, only 28 percent of California remains in moderate drought. Small portions of the state are in severe drought.

At the start of the water year in late September, nearly 100 percent of California was in moderate drought with 94 percent in severe drought.
