Update for Selway Lochsa Moyie Owyhee Bruneau Wood Lost and more Idaho rivers. Keep your eye on the weather as one more AR moves in next week.




Here’s an update for the MF, Main, Lochsa and Selway Rivers showing there’s enough remaining snow to generate another increase in flow the next few days. This may be the last week of cooler/wetter spring weather with forecasts hinting at warmer/nicer weather for June’s arrival. Keep an eye on the sky watching the weather, and your mouse on snow melt and river levels pages as we see how high the rivers rise from this pulse of water coming out of the mountains. Enjoy & be safe !





Here’s a quick update that shows agreement with snowmelt relationships and snowmelt peak flows. Cool temps will slow remaining melt and push flows out a bit when warm temps return.


May 7 Snow2Flow update – with return of warm weather, rivers will rise again to generate another peak from remaining snow with temps pushing 80s F in Boise. Air temps and duration of warm spell will determine how fast the snow melts, how high the rivers rise and when the snow runs out that feeds the rives. Enjoy and be safe!



Low snow means low flows in these basins. Hopefully more weather moves in during the month of May



Snow & Flow Update — And Owyhee is up !
Here’s an update for Selway & Lochsa Rivers based on Jan 1 & Jan 28 that shows the current snow, chance to recover, and plots of other strong El Nino years along with analog years. We’ll keep an eye on using 2010 as another analog year for this winter and watch how it tracks else in the state too. Enjoy spring skiing this week but stay tuned as we still have 40% of winter to go and winter returns in early February (this weekend)!




It’s peak season time for the Lochsa & Selway Rivers. Peaking nearly a month earlier than last year because of the cool, wet spring in 2022.
