our rain totals to talk more about that, joining us live now is nws, sf bay area meteorologist sean miller. sean, thank you for being here. first, where do we stand when it comes to the rain totals from over the last few days? >> so they've been very beneficial for us in general, anywhere from about 1 to 6in of rain across the area, about 3 to 4 in downtown. so it was certainly a widespread and beneficial rain for the bay area . so that's great. >> i mean, talk about those numbers. put them in perspective for us. you know, is it more than we usually see at this time of the year or, you know, give us some perspective on those numbers? you >> yeah. so this is typically a rainier time of the year. i think the one thing that really helps to put it in perspective is taking a look at the water year, which begins in october. uh- back on saturday, we were about about 41% of normal with rain for the water. year after today's rainfall going back to this past midnight, we were up to 66. so this rain is certainly helping us out in the time of year when we want to receive it. >> and should we be concer
