is below normal'in the
north and normal to
above normal in the
south. Water supplies
should be adequate.
Colorado: Snowpack
conditions remain
above normal and water
supplies should be
adequate.
Idaho; The panhandle
received good February
moisture. Streamflow
should be near normal
in the north and above
normal in the south.
Montana: Streamflow
is forecast to be near
normal in nearly all
areas except the Judith-
Musselshell, Big Horn
and Tongue drainage
areas which are below
normal.
Nevada: A mid-
February storm added
snow at higher
elevations, but tower
elevations received less
than expected.
Prospects remain good
for adequate water
supplies.
New Mexico:
Precipitation during
February ranged from
normal to nearly four
times
normal.
Streamflow will be as
much as 120 percent of
normal. Reservoir
storage is excellent.
Oregon: Streamflow
forecasts range from
above normal to much
above normal. Most
reservoirs are expected
to fill during the spring.
Utah; Water supplies
are forecast to be good
to'excellent. Streamflow
will be normal to above
normal.
Washington: Stream
flow will be normal to
above normal for much
of the state. Snowpack
ranges from 95 to 115
percent of normal.
Reservoirs are expected
to fill by early summer.
Wyoming: Runoff is
forecast to be normal to
above normal for most
of the state. Below
normal runoff is
forecast for the north
end of the Big Horn.
Only about 15-20
percent of the season
remains for snowpack
accumulation. This
outlook is based on the
assumption that spring
weather will be near
normal.
The Soil Conservation
Service surveys
snowpack and monitors
snowmelt at 1,800 sites
and forecasts
streamflow at nearly
500 locations throughout
the West each month
from January through
May. USDA specialists,
m cooperation with the
National Weather
Service of the National
Oceanic and At
mospheric Ad-
ministration, U.S.
Department of Com
merce, analyze the data
and issue monthly
forecasts of runoff and
water supplies.
