LOS ANGELES — April showers delayed a ball game and prompted flood advisories as they scooted through California on Saturday, but the overall rain totals won’t do much to ease five years of drought, forecasters said.

Light rain began falling Friday and scattered showers should continue into Sunday, with a slight chance of thunderstorms, according to the National Weather Service. In San Francisco, a downpour delayed the Giants-Los Angeles Dodgers baseball game for 41 minutes.

In Central California, where up to 2 inches of rain fell, the National Weather Service issued flood advisories until 3 p.m. for Merced, Mariposa and southwestern Tuolumne counties.

It was relatively dry elsewhere in Northern and Southern California, where more than a quarter-inch of rain was expected to fall. As of Friday, downtown Los Angeles had recorded less than half the 13.67 inches that normally falls to date.
