Drought for the west

The needed cuts, she said, amount to between 2 million and 4 million acre-feet next year.

For comparison, California is entitled to 4.4 million acre-feet of Colorado River water per year,

Major water cutbacks loom as shrinking Colorado River nears ‘moment of reckoning’

I just solved the water shortage.

Central MT seems to be getting some good rain today. I wouldn't be surprised if Billings had 1.5" just this morning.

Was in NW NM the last few days, lovely rain yesterday and this morning, so nice to be in the desert after a rain. Now back in the San Juan foothills; came home to damp ground, cloudy skies, some success in my first attempt at rain catchment, and thunder in the distance.

Here's hoping the monsoon is here to stay.

The springs are all running well in the Sierra Madres, so Wyoming as of today.

Just more wind here in southern Nevada. It's been this way since October, constantly blowing palm seeds and other crap in my pool.

I'm glad New Mexico is finally getting some moisture.

Wettest June on record by a decent amount for my area. It’s crazy how high streams are, how wet the ground is and how much standing water there is. I wish we could both share it and spread it out over more time

Straight west from my place. Probably the storms coming from Hanks. Please make it here.

I knew there was a name for it. One I remember from childhood, that smell.

Been trying but not enough to do any good yet tho. Thankful for what we are getting tho!

I knew there was a name for it. One I remember from childhood, that smell.

My boss shared it with me with me when the rain came in 2020. Won't forget the conversation, or the smell, or the color of the air.

Happy to hear you're getting some rain.

 

[TheTone]

Predicted weather for the past two days was no rain, reality has been over a quarter inch and probably closer to another half inch.

We finally got some rain out at our farm in NC Montana. I think around 2 inches in the past week or so. Thankful it is finally greening up!

 

[Chama Grande]

I have some ponding on my flat roof which sucks but also, I have some ponding on my flat roof which is awesome

Happily conflicted on this one

 

[Valley1320]

Got .25 that came slow and all soaked in good. Hopefully we'll get some more today

 

[hank4elk]

I got to watch the good show drift by.
I can hear the thunder in the Gila already.
East NM is supposed to get hit today some.

Cool storm track from Las Cruces to Chicago

Heavy rain today at our cabin in southern Utah. Flash flood watch through the night in Zion.

 

[hank4elk]

Rained half of Sunday, sometimes hard last night. Over 2 inches in a week, mostly light rains that are soaking in good.
Flashflood watches going up across NM.
