Submitted: 6/07/2026 8:49 AM
Scale Bar: Moderately Dry
Description:
Continued long-term D1 drought, and precip for the month is well below normal. Swamps are dry and multiple beaver lodges have been abandoned. Other wildlife will be displaced as well. Lifetime residents of the area have never seen wetlands this dry. Most stream flows are very low, and lake levels are dropping to historic lows in some areas. Trees and flowers look ok, and everything is green, which drops fire danger. Some trees are stressed and hit with disease or bark beetles. Shallow wells are sputtering.
