SNOWPACK
Early snowmelt ended up being absorbed into the ground with most of the snowpack left in May being lost to sublimation.
(Sublimation is the process where snow evaporates before it melts) At the beginning of June, snowpack was only about 14% of average. Stream and river flows are expected to be substantially diminished this summer where they are not augmented by releases from reservoirs.
Reservoir storage remains at or above average
