Water Supply Outlook Report March 2022
The Natural Resources Conservation Service (NRCS) in Idaho has released the March Water Supply Outlook Report for the 2022 water year. The “high and dry” pattern that arrived in early January continued to dominate regional weather throughout February. Observations at many SNOTEL stations throughout central Idaho recorded a few tenths of an inch of precipitation, or in some cases, zero precipitation for the month of February. Fortunately, more active weather and much needed precipitation arrived at the end of the month, and an atmospheric river event brought an extended period of precipitation to northern Idaho. It is unclear how long into March the active weather pattern will last or how far south it will extend – a few weeks of active weather and mountain snow would go a long way towards building a healthier snowpack by April 1. “Normal seasonal peak snowpack is still within reach for the Little Wood, Lost, Salmon, Clearwater and Panhandle basins,” said Daniel Tappa, Hydrologist-Data Collection Officer for NRCS Snow Survey in Idaho. “However, the ship has likely sailed on normal peak snowpack for our lower elevation southernmost basins (Owyhee, Bruneau) since these areas typically see peak snowpack in early March.” March 1 streamflow forecasts have uniformly decreased since February 1, and now favor below normal streamflow for the Upper Snake, Southern Snake, Big Wood, Boise, Payette, and Weiser basins.
