Wyoming snowpack remains below average

The National Weather Service says precipitation and snowpack remain below normal across Wyoming, which doesn't bode well for the state's water supply. February precipitation in state river basins was 85 to 90% of average, and the mountain snowpack across the state continues to lag at around 80 to 85% of average. Mountain snowpack was highest across northern Wyoming, varying between 85 to 95% of normal. The snowpack was lowest in southern Wyoming at 65 to 80% of normal. Right now, streamflow snowmelt volumes are expected to be below normal across a majority of basins in Wyoming. National Weather Service hydrologist Jim Fahey says runoff into Wyoming reservoirs will be pretty low this year if more snow doesn't pile up in the mountains this spring.
