Will The Wet Weather Continue In 2018? Sean Boyd On Air Quality, Rain and Drought

National Weather Service
Weather radar from Tuesday January 9th 2018 shows the progession of a storm across central California.

The recent rains mark the first big storm to hit Central California this rainy season. But are they enough to hold off the dreaded "d-word" of drought? We ask Fresno-based meteorologist Sean Boyd about the short and long-term outlook, and about the recent two week stretch that left valley residents breathing some of the worst air in twenty years. 

Joe Moore is the President and General Manager of KVPR / Valley Public Radio. He has led the station through major programming changes, the launch of KVPR Classical and the COVID-19 pandemic.
