Did you know that Colorado Basin RFC began as a "Water Supply Forecast Unit" in 1947? We recently came across this blurb from a March, 1947 issue of "The Desert Magazine" with what might be our very first forecast! We became a River Forecast Center in 1969. #coloradoriver #water

Runoff is in full force up Little Cottonwood Canyon. The creek is forecast to reach it’s highest level at 120% of normal on 6/8. Exercise caution near rivers as many are running fast and are very cold. #utwx

Lake Powell has received 71% of normal inflow for June 3rd. Last year at this time it had received nearly double the normal amount. Stay tuned for our updated seasonal inflow forecast later this week! #LakePowell #utwx #cowx #coloradoriver

High temperatures for most of Utah will range from the 90s-100s Wednesday and again Thursday. Stay hydrated, wear light colored clothing, and take breaks, especially if working or recreating outdoors! #utwx

Yesterday, CBRFC staff met with Central Utah Water Conservancy District employees and discussed ways to better serve water consumers. Site visits were made to Upper Stillwater, Starvation, and Strawberry reservoirs, pictured below. All of these reservoirs are full at the moment!

Curious how the 2024 monsoon is affecting streamflow? Check out these hydrographs from two sites in southeast Arizona. Notice how quickly these watercourses rise and fall. Given the nature of monsoon thunderstorms, forecasting these rises proves to be a perennial challenge! #azwx

Why doesn't 100% snowpack mean 100% runoff? We're tackling this and more in our new #AskAHydrologist series! Got your own water-related questions? Use the #AskAHydrologist hashtag to ask! #utwx #cowx #wywx #azwx
