Most of the Bay Area is out of the drought, according to the latest data from the drought monitor Thursday.
Only parts of Sonoma, Napa and Solano counties remain in the abnormally dry category.
In its Thursday analysis, the drought monitor said many smaller lakes have rebounded, with California’s 154 primary intrastate reservoirs gaining 9.9 million acre-feet of water between Nov. 30 and Feb. 28, bringing total storage to 23.2 million acre-feet, or 96% of the historical average for this time of year.
