South Bay gets sprinkles as the rain deficit grows

SAN JOSE, Calif. (KGO) -- The latest system brought light showers to the South Bay Thursday morning and disappointment for people hoping the wet weather would make a dent in the rain deficit this season.

Sprinkles and light showers fell in San Jose between 4 a.m. and 5 a.m., forcing drivers to turn on their windshield wipers, but hopes of a downpour or two were dashed when things dried up quickly.
