Nevada Drought Early Warning System

Conditions for the week of Jan. 4-10

Decent snows (0.5-3 inches liquid equivalent) blanketed northwestern Nevada, increasing the Water Year To Date basin average precipitation and snow-water content to above normal (along with numerous drought indices either normal or wet at various time periods), resulting in a one-category improvement. The decent snow pack should greatly contribute to a good spring snow melt runoff and recharge if conditions are maintained.
