Water flows from Upper Yosemite Falls after the last of a series of atmospheric river storms hit California on January 19, 2023 in Yosemite National Park, California. California was slammed by a barrage of atmospheric river storms over the last three weeks which led to record rainfall, widespread flooding and 20 deaths. Yosemite’s famed waterfalls are seeing stronger than normal runoff flows for January due to the precipitation from the storms. The storms delivered massive amounts of snowfall to the Sierra Nevada mountains raising California’s snowpack to nearly 250 percent above average. Meltwater from California’s snowpack provides an essential source of water to the state and the widespread precipitation has led to a lower drought status as reservoirs have begun to fill.
