HYDROLOGIC OUTLOOK
NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE BOISE IDAHO
1140 AM MDT TUE JAN 13 2009
...IDAHO WATER SUPPLY FORECAST FOR 2009 WATER YEAR...
DISCUSSION...
ABOVE NORMAL PRECIPITATION DURING THE EARLY PART OF THE 2009 WATER
YEAR FROM OCTOBER THROUGH EARLY JANUARY HAS IMPROVED THE WATER
SUPPLY SITUATION IN IDAHO. ALL STREAM BASINS IN IDAHO HAVE RECEIVED
ABOVE NORMAL PRECIPITATION. HOWEVER...THE AMOUNT OF WATER THAT
ACCUMULATED IN THE SNOWPACK WAS NEAR AVERAGE IN MOST IDAHO STREAM
BASINS. WARM WEATHER COINCIDENT WITH EARLY SEASON STORMS CAUSED MORE
OF THE EARLY SEASON PRECIPITATION TO FALL AS RAIN WHICH WAS REALIZED
AS EARLY SEASON RUNOFF... OR ENTERED THE TOP LAYERS OF SOIL WHICH
WERE EXTREMELY DRY GOING INTO THE 2009 WATER YEAR. COLDER WEATHER
IN DECEMBER ALLOWED SNOWPACK AT LOW ELEVATIONS TO BUILD TO ABOVE
NORMAL LEVELS... ESPECIALLY IN NORTHERN IDAHO. SOME SMALL STREAM
FLOODING OCCURRED IN THE IDAHO PANHANDLE REGION WHEN WARMER
TEMPERATES AND RAIN CAUSED SOME OF THE SNOW AT LOW ELEVATIONS TO
MELT AND RUNOFF. EARLY FORECASTS OF SEASONAL STREAM VOLUMES FOR THE
2009 WATER YEAR ARE SLIGHTLY BELOW NORMAL AND INDICATE THAT IDAHO
STILL NEEDS MORE PRECIPITATION TO COMPLETELY ERASE LONG TERM
PRECIPITATION DEFICITS WHICH HAVE CAUSED DROUGHT IN THE SOUTHERN
PART OF THE STATE.
SNOWPACK...
SNOWPACK OBSERVATIONS ON JANUARY 13TH AT NRCS SNOTEL AND SNOW COURSE
LOCATIONS ARE CLOSE TO NORMAL RANGING FROM 90 PERCENT OF AVERAGE IN
THE IDAHO PANHANDLE REGION TO AROUND 115 PERCENT OF AVERAGE ACROSS
SOUTHERN IDAHO. THE SNOWPACK PERCENTAGES ARE SKEWED TOWARD LOWER
ELEVATIONS ESPECIALLY IN NORTHERN IDAHO. THE LOW ELEVATION SNOWPACK
IS SOMEWHAT DECEPTIVE IN THAT IT HAS BEEN DEEPER THAN NORMAL IN
POPULATED AREAS...BUT HOLDS LESS WATER THAN THE HIGH ELEVATION PACK.
THE LOW ELEVATION SNOWPACK IS ALSO MORE TRANSIENT... AND EXPERIENCED
RAPID MELTING IN NORTHERN IDAHO DURING THE SECOND WEEK OF JANUARY
CAUSING SOME SMALL STREAM FLOODING.
LONG RANGE TEMPERATURE AND PRECIPITATION FORECASTS...
RECENT LONG RANGE OUTLOOKS ISSUED BY THE NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE
CLIMATE PREDICTION CENTER INDICATE A HIGHER PROBABILITY OF IDAHO
EXPERIENCING BELOW NORMAL TEMPERATURES DURING THE MONTHS OF
JANUARY... FEBRUARY... AND MARCH. HOWEVER... THE OUTLOOK DOES NOT
INDICATE A SHIFT IN PRECIPITATION PROBABILITIES AT THIS TIME...
EITHER TOWARDS ABOVE NORMAL OR BELOW NORMAL PRECIPITATION. THESE
LONG RANGE FORECASTS ARE INFLUENCED BY THE PRESENCE OF LA-NINA
CONDITIONS WHICH HAVE REDEVELOPED IN THE PACIFIC OCEAN. LA-NINA
CONDITIONS USUALLY CORRELATE WELL WITH WETTER AND COOLER WEATHER IN
THE PACIFIC NORTHWEST. LA-NINA CONDITIONS WHICH ARE CHARACTERIZED BY
COLDER THAN NORMAL WATER TEMPERATURES IN THE PACIFIC OCEAN ARE
EXPECTED TO CONTINUE THROUGH THE UPCOMING SPRING 2009.
VOLUME FORECASTS...
SEASONAL VOLUME FORECASTS COORDINATED BETWEEN THE NATIONAL WEATHER
SERVICE AND THE NATURAL RESOURCES CONSERVATION SERVICE ARE BASED ON
PRECIPITATION AND SNOWPACK OBSERVED UP UNTIL JANUARY 1ST AND ASSUME
NORMAL PRECIPITATION WILL OCCUR THROUGH THE RUNOFF SEASON. THE
VOLUME FORECASTS AND PERCENT OF AVERAGE FOR SELECTED STREAMS AND
LOCATIONS ARE LISTED BELOW. NOTE THAT THE VOLUMES ARE EXPRESSED IN
THOUSANDS OF ACRE FEET.

DROUGHT...
THE LONG TERM DROUGHT SITUATION IN IDAHO CONTINUES TO SLOWLY IMPROVE
WITH MOST AREAS OF THE STATE SEEING ABOVE NORMAL PRECIPITATION SINCE
THE 2009 WATER YEAR BEGAN. HOWEVER... EVEN WITH NEAR NORMAL SNOWPACK
MUCH OF SOUTHERN IDAHO WILL CONTINUE TO SEE SOME LINGERING EFFECTS
FROM DRIER THAN NORMAL CONDITIONS EXPERIENCED DURING 7 OUT OF THE
LAST 10 YEARS. THE U.S. DROUGHT MONITOR INDICATES MODERATE DROUGHT
CONDITIONS CONTINUING OVER PORTIONS OF SOUTHERN IDAHO ALTHOUGH THE
AREA AFFECTED WITH DROUGHT IS NOT AS LARGE AS IT WAS AT THIS TIME
LAST YEAR.
