In March of 1991, Fresno received more than 7 inches of rain.

This followed a bone-dry winter, and the storms that drenched California that year were dubbed by many as a "March Miracle".

While we are not expected to see that much precipitation this month, Valley growers already say this weather has been a big boost.

Action News Meteorologist Alena Lee put together a nice graphic showing a snapshot of where we're currently at with rain totals for the month of March.
