"We are going to leave 2020 behind because it only left us at 28% to 38% of average (rainfall). It's the year the drought returned," said Nicco. But 2021 is a different story. Another reason forget 2020...the year our drought returned. Yearly rainfall total only 28% to 38% of average. Nicco's forecast shows a series of light and moderate storms. "We are going to have increasing clouds and rain Friday night. It's a 1 on the Storm-Impact-Scale," said Nicco. The wet weather is expected to arrive in the North Bay around 8 p.m. before it moves into the heart of the bay around midnight. The storm will exit the South Bay during the early morning hours on Saturday with some random showers leftover until about noon.
