WASHINGTON WATER SUPPLY OUTLOOK
NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE SEATTLE WA
1100 AM PDT WED APR 25 2001
THE WINTER-LONG SHORTFALL IN PRECIPITATION AND MOUNTAIN SNOWPACK IS
TRANSLATING INTO FORECASTS OF LOW WATER SUPPLY FOR WASHINGTON THIS SPRING AND
SUMMER. NEAR NORMAL PRECIPITATION AND RATHER COOL TEMPERATURES OVER THE PAST
MONTH AND A HALF HAVE HAD LITTLE IMPACT ON THIS SITUATION.THE PAST WINTER WAS
THE DRIEST IN WASHINGTON SINCE THE EXCEPTIONALLY DRY WINTER OF 1976-77. WITH
RESPECT TO BOTH PRECIPITATION AND SNOWPACK...IT WAS AMONG THE FIVE DRIEST
WINTERS IN THE PAST 100 YEARS.IT IS IMPORTANT ALSO TO NOTE THAT THESE UNUSUAL
CONDITIONS AFFECT A LARGE AREA...ENCOMPASSING MOST OF THE NORTHWEST UNITED
STATES AND SOUTHWEST CANADA AND INCLUDING THE ENTIRE COLUMBIA RIVER DRAINAGE
BASIN.
