The week had 0.14" of rainfall, with March now just over an inch, or 14% of the monthly normal.  Water Year is just below normal at 95%.  My ETo guage was put out this week, for the 15th year of observations, and recorded 0.22".  Average high was 63.5, low 44.1.  Ruth Lake Reservoir on 3/23 was 101%.  The Mad and Eel rivers continue to drop, however, the Eureka NWS issued a notice this week that the inland rivers are running "Cold & Swift."  With the warm weather, many people will be headed inland to enjoy them.  The Trinity is 50-52 degrees, rising with some snow melt, and at Hoopa running at 2500 cubic feet per second.  At Orleans, the Klamath is in the low 50s, and 5000 cfs.  This is compared to the Mad River at Arcata at 265 cfs.  The Drought Map increased the Abnormally Dry D0 designation to the entire eastern half of the Sierra Nevada Mountains from Amador County to Fresno, as well as the entire western side of the Colorado River border of California.  The April 1st Snowpack Report will be revealing this week, with current snowpack levels in the Sierra North at 8%, Central Sierra 26% and Southern Sierra 41%, levels not seen since the 2014-15 season.  My winter resident birds, Spotted Towhees and Fox Sparrows, have left for the season.  This weather has been great for outdoor youth sports, and April will bring the spring school break, and Godwit Days in Arcata, for bird watchers.
