NRCS Montana Monthly Water Supply Outlook Report - June 6, 2022 |
April and May mountain precipitation as a percent of average (1991-2020)
Cool, Wet Conditions Improve Snowpack and Delay Spring Runoff into June and July
BOZEMAN, Montana, June 6, 2022 – April marked the start of a major weather pattern change which brought much needed precipitation to Montana, and while April was a wet month, May was even wetter in certain areas. Some of the largest totals were in southwest Montana and northern Wyoming where precipitation ranged from 5 to 11 inches and set records for highest May precipitation in over 40 years at some SNOTEL sites. Mountain precipitation was lowest in parts of Central Montana, the Flathead Lake area, and the Upper Clark Fork region where totals ranged from about two to five inches in May, which compared to normal is about 70% to 100% for those regions.
