Mountain snowpack this spring has been below the 30+ year climatological minima, with March being an exceptionally warm and dry month. April was closer to normal in terms of temperatures and precipitation. The first half of May has been mostly dry with some recent 90+ degree weather at lower elevations. Currently snowpack is only patchy above about 9,000 feet elevation, more typical of late June. Fire danger is moderate at lower elevations and low elsewhere.
