Steady rain, some heavy at times, will soak the mid-Atlantic to New York City. Meanwhile, cold air will lead to snow and ice across New England. Most roads should remain wet but any pocket of heavier snow could lead to slushy travel conditions. Farther south, warm and moist air and a cold front will lead to severe thunderstorms across the Carolinas to northeastern Florida. The main threats will be winds and hail.

Snow in the Sierra Ne- vada begins melting this time of year as the weather warms, and California is already waterlogged after storms slammed the state in January and February, flooding communities and washing out roads. If more stormy weather hits the state and its moun- tains soon, snowmelt could speed up, putting pressure on reservoirs, some al- ready brimming full and spilling over, officials said. "It's something that we pay very close atten- tion to," said Frank Geh- rke, chief of the Califor- nia Cooperative Snow Surveys Program, who led a small crew of surveyors into a snowy meadow sur- rounded by pine trees. "It's going to depend on how the spring plays out." The Sierra snowpack's overall water content mea- sured 164 percent of nor- mal Wednesday, accord- ing to the state's electronic monitors throughout the mountain range. It was even higher at Phillips Station near Lake Tahoe where Gehrke's manual measurement — plunging a rod into the snow nearly eight feet deep (2.5 meters) — showed its water-content at 183 per- cent of normal. Snowdrifts are up to 20 feet (6 meters) deep at higher elevations in the central and southern parts of the range, he said. The snowpack stretches along 400 miles (644 ki- lometers) of the Sierra Nevada, creating an icy reservoir that provides roughly one-third of irri- gation and drinking water to the nation's most popu- lous state during hot, dry months of the year. The deep snowdrifts to- day contrast to the situa- tion two years ago at the height of California's five- year drought, when Gov. Jerry Brown travelled with surveyors to the same spot and there was no measur- able snow. He later ordered resi- dents to use less water at home — a first for Califor- nia. Hundreds of domes- tic wells ran dry during the drought. Many were in rural farming communi- ties and some Californians were forced to drink bot- tled water and bathe from buckets. Some farmers in the state that leads the nation in producing fruits, vegeta- bles and nuts, drew down wells to grow their crops, while others left fields un- planted. Drought eased last win- ter, and monster storms in recent months have put a major dent in the five-year drought. It's unclear whether the governor will lift his emer- gency drought declaration, which remains in place de- spite heavy storms. Brown could decide in April, Geh- rke said. This snowpack is the densest with water since 2011, the year before ex- treme drought hit Califor- nia marked by the state's driest four-year period on record, said Doug Carlson, a spokesman for the Cali- fornia Department of Wa- ter Resources. "When the history of this winter's wet season is written, undoubtedly it'll make note of the fact that this is a wet season that helped alleviate much of the drought," Carlson said.
