Dry conditions continue as no measurable rain has been received in over a week and even before then conditions were mildly dry. Fire Weather Warnings have been issued and local Fire Burn Bans restrictions as well as no issuance of fire burning permits are in place. Conditions forecasted to continue for another 7-10days currently so borderline conditions to moderately dry will exist  View

Temperatures were mild last week with highs mostly in the 60's and 70's. A storm moved through on Monday and brought some rain in the afternoon into the early evening. A total of .21 inches of rain fell which was the total for the week. On this day, the high was 57°. The high of the week was 74° on Wednesday and Thursday. The low of the week was last Sunday at 29°. Lows rose into the 30's and 40's for the rest of the week. It was breezy on several days with winds increasing toward the end of the week. Plants continue to "green up" and the freeze didn't hurt anything except the wisteria blooms. Will have to wait and see about fruit on the trees. A lot of finches are frequenting the garden that are yellow and some with red color. Saw a giant frog, probably a bullfrog, next to the pond and a lizard running on the ground.  View

We received only a trace of rain this week and have had 1.79” in the past two weeks. Conditions are mildly dry at this time. Soil moisture is low for this time of year and there is some drought stress showing in some plants and crops especially in the afternoon heat. Local pastures and hayfields look adequate but are not growing to full capacity due to lack of water. Streamflows and water levels are also lower than expected. There is a low wildfire risk at this time due to green vegetation and some humidity.  View

Storm total this week 1.22", bringing Water Year to 41.07", 103% of normal. ETo 0.23", average high 63f, low 48.5f. Ruth Lake Reservoir at 101% on April 6th. Drought map shows all of California north of a line from San Francisco to Lake Tahoe as Abnormally Dry, level D0, as well as parts of Riverside, San Diego and Imperial counties. Level D1--Moderate Drought now includes northern Del Norte and the east sides of Alpine to Modoc counties. The rain has brought up the rivers, Mad River at 8 feet and 800 cfs, Eel River at Scotia 11.25 feet and 2400 cfs. Rivers and ocean remain cold. Lupine showing up along roadsides and highways, and wisteria blooming in people's yards. This coming weekend is the annual Godwit Days birding festival in Arcata, which should bring many visitors in to explore all the birds northwest California has to offer.  View

1.28 inches of rain since the last report--most of that since yesterday in a series of rain squalls, some very heavy with high winds. This brings us up to 35.58 inches of rain for the season--all good. No power outages, thankfully. Most of the week was mild and ocean conditions favorable for fishing. Trees continue to leaf out nicely and the native grape vines are showing bud burst. Not as many tourists in the area after the holiday, but more RVs and boats showing up.  View

We are ? of the way into one of the wettest months of the year and have received only 0.16” of precip this month, 16% of normal. It’s been super dry for months: we’ve received 1.85” of precipitation so far this calendar year, 45% of normal. 3.33” so far this water year, 47% of normal. Lawns in the neighborhood which haven’t started irrigation look horrible—dry, yellow, dusty, eroding. Flowers in wild areas are subdued and early, while some more mesic forbs have not shown up and or are not blooming. Wildflowers bloom early, end inflorescence faster, and everything is smaller and reduced in extent. In my yard, my raingarden is dry to a very deep level, which is very unusual. Many Front Range cities are issuing watering restrictions. Boulder, with its copious water rights, is on drought watch and asking for voluntary reductions. There have been a couple of small fires in the Boulder foothills, unusual for this time of year. The canal from South Boulder Creek to fill Baseline Reservoir has been running steadily; it seems that there is a decent amount of demand on that reservoir from Louisville and Lafayette.  View

Since last reported on 04/05/2026, received a trace of precipitation. Consequently, the drought continues to intensify. Topsoil sample taken this morning shows powder dry soil from the surface down to the 3.0" level. Slight soil moisture content last week is gone. Will need to provide supplemental water to trees again soon. Restarted the water feature for the summer. Wildlife activity in general seems normal. Our Aspen trees are beginning to leaf out which is about one month early. Recently planted Crabapple trees have been leafing out. Recently planted Cottonwoods have not leafed out yet. Perennials continue to sprout as well as native grass. Night-time temperatures have remained above freezing. I heard some small fires had broken out south of Fountain, CO. Red Flag Warnings continue to be posted regularly by the NWS when the wind picks up. With no measurable precipitation the past week and topsoil continuing to dry out, I have revised the Condition Scale from Mildly Dry to Moderately Dry.  View

Just an inch of rain since the last report two weeks ago has changed surface conditions from Mildly Wet to Mildly Dry. Very low dew points (ranging between 22 and 30 today) with low humidity reduce the overall condition state to Moderately Dry. Fire danger rating is High. Observed animal activity continues to increase. Lawns are nearing the point when mowing will begin. No recent public health disease alerts for this area.

April 3 - 12, 2026: Unusual weather during the past 10 days. 0.08" mixed precip (rain, graupel, small hail, snow, winds, cold) on April 2-3; 7 days of dry and warm weather; then a total of 0.73" rain measured on April 11-12 as weather systems rapidly moved through SW Idaho. So, mostly very dry conditions with periods of above normal rain into the middle of April. Forecasts for next week show warm and wet days until mid-week then cooling for a few days (possibly down to 29°F for the morning low on Friday) then warming back up to 40's overnight and 70's during the days. Some snow accumulation on higher and highest elevations after the April 3rd storms, but snow rapidly melted off. Pollen counts are extreme, especially cottonwood and junipers. Trees, shrubs, and early flowering plants have been blooming for several weeks and are now going by. The old rule-of-thumb that when snow is gone from Shafer Butte above Boise then it's OK to put out cold sensitive plants may not be good advice this year. Snow has melted off Shafer but below freezing nights are still possible. Anna's hummingbirds are still at the feeders. Birds continue to be very active at the feeders. Reservoirs in the upper Boise Basin are full to nearly full, but only minimum flow is being released to the lower Boise River. Water managers are concerned that reservoirs may be drained by the end of the irrigation season this year. As the year progresses, concerns about drought and fires are increasing.  View

General: We're dry. For April we expect 1.37" of gauge catch and we've had .87 (SD = .4). That puts us 1 SD below average, which I'm calling mildly dry. We expect to have about 4.5" of snow at this point in April and we have had .4". Blackfoot has just declared water restrictions until October, as a notion of where we're headed. Agriculture: We had a smidge of rain yesterday (.06"), which helps. Crops are in the ground and waiting for the spring rains. Energy: We're entering high energy production, with 36.87 kWHR created yesterday and 23.12 kWHR consumed. Fire: Risk is high at this point. Already there have been fires in the Chubbuck area. Plants & Wildlife: I saw a suspected cougar track this week, and we heard of 2 buffalo at the base of the Caribou range, about a mile from here! They have wandered off the Fort Hall Reservation and can't be found, but that's a first for us here. Water: A mark of our current situation is that Blackfoot, just north of here, has instituted water restrictions for the summer until Oct. 1.  View

Seeing the latest drought monitors clearing some areas of drought seems a bit early for all that. We have been dry for the past 2 and 3 years. Thats going to take a good deal of moisture to replenish the soils down deep. Recent rains have helped but we go a few days with nothing and we also see how fast things dry up. We did have a couple showers this past week and things are liking Spring. The early warmth that jump started growth followed by some cold hard deep freezes sure took the color out of the usual spring. We have excavated a few holes in the turf recently and things are moist but not to deep down it gets very dry and crumbly then powder. So we will stick with the moderate dry for now and likely for a while.  View

More rain this week has helped add more moisture to the ground keeping the conditions Near Normal. Both MTD and YTD are on the plus side of NOAA Norm with WYTD just under at -0.20" (99%). US Drought Monitor moved this station's area this week from Moderate Drought to Abnormally Dry. An active weather pattern is set up through mid-week that could lead to more rain and possible severe storms. There are some fields locally that have standing water in low areas and some roadside ditches are still holding water. Grass is lush green and will now need regular mowing. The Mississippi River continues to rise and will be just below Action Stage by Wednesday at Rock Island and a foot and half below Action at LeClaire. The Rock River is receding from last week's minor flooding, and the Green River is returning to its normal levels.  View

Drought improvement as per email received from drought . gov on April 9th to Category D0. We are on the wet pattern for this month. Total precip for the month so far is 3.37 inches. This is a new Station Record for the month of April. Increase in birds and squirrels. Also saw some flies, que in the May Fly early perhaps. Grass is starting to have steady growth. Some lawn mowing occurred. Indoor temps reaching 67F, good indicator for the Furnace to be done for the season soon. Fans and open windows utilized. Increase in humidity has been causing windows and doors to get a little sticky stuck. Good signs for drought improvement and looking ahead for some nice and not so nice Severe Weather Spring Days despite the rain, maybe we will see some rainbows soon :):)  View

I'm leaving the condition Near Normal since the ground continues to dry out relatively quickly. The dirt road remains nearly walkable after about 36 hours of drying time, despite the pond being less than six inches from going into the spillway.
