Drought?

NOAA's latest map on expected drought conditions across the US shows that the Southern California coastline, as well as the Northern California region, is developing into a drought area, while much of the rest of the state and the west is in a persisting drought state.

This should continue through the spring. Of course, the weather can and will alter to suit its won complex needs.

I hadn't felt that conditions were this "drought-like" so this came as a bit of a surprise to me.

Does it feel like we are headed into more drought conditions?
