A series of early February storms have helped Bay Area cities inch closer to their average rainfall totals for this time of year, and one city that is normally among the driest received nearly 2 inches of rain since Friday.

San Jose, which often falls victim to a rain-shadow effect courtesy of the Santa Cruz mountains, received 1.74 inches of rain during a 72-hour period ending Monday at 5:45 a.m., according to preliminary data from the National Weather Service.
