SAN DIEGO (FOX 5/KUSI) — Even with heavy rain coming down this week, San Diego County remains in a drought, highlighting how much more is needed to replenish the region’s water resources.

In the past two days alone “we saw really anywhere from one to three inches of rainfall in the valleys, coastal areas, the hills outside of the mountains and then up in the mountains we saw a significant amount of snowfall,” according to Samantha Zuber, meteorologist with the National Weather Service San Diego.

Zuber is keeping tabs on rainfall totals, but this latest storm doesn’t mean we’re out of the woods.
