Local weather watchers: Area avoiding drought — for now

Forecasters say it’s too soon to tell if rainy days are ahead for Lodi area

Posted: Thursday, October 4, 2012 12:00 am | Updated: 6:26 am, Thu Oct 4, 2012.

It’s been hot and dry in Lodi for many weeks now. Time to worry about a drought? Not yet, say water watchers in the area.

“The rainy season commences in one month, and we’ll measure then. As far as how much do we have, it’s a nice supply,” said EBMUD spokes-man Charles Hardy.
