This webinar will provide an update on current drought conditions and snow drought in the Intermountain West (Arizona, Colorado, New Mexico, Utah, Wyoming).

The arrival of rains across the region over the past two months helped eliminate most of the lingering drought from the Fall, with many rivers starting to experience flooding in this early part of flood/recharge season. Looking ahead, river flood risk is expected to stay above normal as we approach the spring and El Niño continues to keep the southeast U.S. in an active precipitation pattern, particularly along the eastern areas. While drought is expected to improve in Alabama and Georgia, it is expected to persist in western Tennessee and the U.S.

2020 and 2021 were low water supply years, much lower than one would expect based on snowpack values alone. Researchers from the Colorado Climate Center questioned whether very low, if not record low, soil moisture levels at high elevation were causing a smaller fraction of snowmelt to runoff than in a normal year, and further,  whether these conditions are likely to occur more frequently in a warmer climate. “On the Sources of Water Supply Forecast Error in Western Colorado” is the result of a research project funded by NOAA’s National Integrated Drought Information System (NIDIS) to explore this question.
