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

MF & Salmon Snow2Flow Update
Here’s an update looking at remaining snow, snowmelt, volume forecasts and similar runoff years. We’ll see a decrease in melt and flows with cooler front moving in, but melt and flows are projected to rebound later this week with return to high pressure, that will hopefully move on sooner than later…
Bruneau, Owyhee & Salmon Falls Snow2Flow
With below normal precipitation April 1-24 across the state and little expected in next 7 days, streamflow volumes are decreasing from April 1 release. The Owyhee River has peaked from snowmelt and remaining snow will help sustain flows. Remaining snow in Bruneau and Salmon Falls basins will produce another another flow increase. Future snowmelt rates and weather will determine if next flow increase exceeds the previous peaks already seen.
Owyhee Update !
Remaining snow will help to sustain flows… how long – here are a few similar runoff volumes and recession years. With little weather on the horizon, current snow melt from warm days and freezing nights is ideal.
Owyhee! Let it Flow!!
Here’s an update for the Owyhee based on current snow, flow projections and more weather moving in this week and next. It’s nice to look at big picture to see what’s happening around this tri-state basin.
Bruneau Snow2Flow Update
This is too interesting not to share. The 2100 cfs flow plateau has occurred in the past. This is why its important to understand these Snow2Flow Relationships. It’s all about relationships…
Big Lost & Big Wood Rivers Snow2Flow Update
It’s almost time for a road trip to find the the Big Lost White Stallion ! Warming day time temps and above freezing nighttime temps will keep the snow melting 24 hours a day.
Lochsa & Selway Snow2Flow Update
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.
Salmon Falls Creek Snow to Flow Update
Usually need at least 500 CFS to float the creek. Becomes more of an adventure with less and faster with more.
