SAN DIEGO (KGTV) -- As rain continues to soak California, the state is almost entirely out of a drought.
According to the U.S. Drought Monitor's most recent report out Thursday, the only part of the state still experiencing any form of drought is a portion of extreme Northern California.
As seen in the image below, those counties are only in a "moderate drought," the lowest level in the rating system.

Though none of San Diego County is currently experiencing drought conditions, the monitor shows that the county is still "abnormally dry."
The change happened fairly quickly. A report released on January 1, 2019 shows most of the state experiencing some form of drought. Click here to compare reports from other times.
