Low water allocation forecasted for Washington's Yakima River basin junior rights holders

2 weeks 2 days ago
Reservoir storage levels in the Yakima Basin have fallen to their lowest since record-keeping began in 1971, leaving irrigators grappling with severe drought conditions. Junior water rights holders in the Yakima Basin were projected to receive only 40% of their estimated water allotment this year. Senior water rights holders will still receive their full allotment. As of August 1st, reservoir storage was at 39% capacity, holding just under 415,000 acre-feet of water, which is 55% of the average. KIMA-TV (Yakima, Wash.), Aug 7, 2025 Yakima River basin irrigators with junior water rights will receive 40% of their full allotments as the bureau updated its outlook on July 30 while warning that the water supply could fall as low as 35%. The next forecast update will be Aug. 7. At 40% of a full allotment, the water shortage rivals the record low 37% that supply irrigators received in 1994 and 2001. Irrigators with senior water rights that were issued before 1905 will still get 100% of their requested water, while junior water rights holders have gotten less than a full allotment for the past three summers. Capital Press (Salem, Ore.), July 31, 2025 The U.S. Bureau of Reclamation forecasted that Yakima River basin irrigators with junior water-rights would get 43% of their full water allotments, the lowest percentage in 20 years. The Reclamation Bureau will update its outlook in mid-June and projects the water supply could drop to as low as 34% of normal. Capital Press (Salem, Ore.), June 5, 2025

Tropical Storm Ivo Forecast Discussion Number 2

2 weeks 2 days ago
Issued at 900 PM CST Wed Aug 06 2025 183 WTPZ44 KNHC 070240 TCDEP4 Tropical Storm Ivo Discussion Number 2 NWS National Hurricane Center Miami FL EP092025 900 PM CST Wed Aug 06 2025 Ivo's cloud pattern is gradually becoming better organized but the convective banding features are not yet well defined. Very cold cloud tops to -70 deg C or colder are evident, primarily over the northern portion of the circulation. The upper-level outflow pattern is fairly well defined over the system, but outflow is restricted over the northeastern quadrant. The current intensity estimate is kept at 35 kt for now, in agreement with a subjective Dvorak classification from TAFB and most objective estimates from UW-CIMSS. Blending center fixes from SAB and TAFB give a swift west-northwestward motion of around 295/19 kt, as in the previous advisory. There is a strong 500 mb high situated to the north of Ivo, which is predicted to remain in place for the next couple of days. This should keep the tropical cyclone on a west-northwestward track, parallel to, but offshore of, the coast of southwestern Mexico. Beyond 24-36 hours, Ivo should turn a bit to the left with decreasing forward speed while moving away from Mexico. The official track forecast is very similar to the previous one and close to the dynamical model consensus. For the next couple of days, Ivo should be in an environment of moderate vertical shear, fairly warm waters and high low- to mid-level humidity. Therefore strengthening is likely and the system is predicted to become a hurricane by late this week. Later in the forecast period, the system should be traversing cooler waters which is likely to reduce the cyclone to a remnant low in 5 days. The official intensity forecast is at the high end of the model guidance. The tropical-storm-force winds associated with Ivo are expected to remain offshore of the coast of Mexico, however heavy rain and rough surf are likely along portions of the southwest coast of Mexico during the next day or two.

Tropical Storm Henriette Forecast Discussion Number 12

2 weeks 2 days ago
Issued at 500 PM HST Wed Aug 06 2025 550 WTPZ43 KNHC 070234 TCDEP3 Tropical Storm Henriette Discussion Number 12 NWS National Hurricane Center Miami FL EP082025 500 PM HST Wed Aug 06 2025 Henriette’s satellite presentation has deteriorated since the previous advisory, with the cyclone now nearly devoid of all deep convection and the low-level center fully exposed. The most recent subjective Dvorak intensity estimates were 3.0/45 kt from TAFB, while SAB deemed the cyclone too weak to classify. Meanwhile, objective estimates from UW-CIMSS have ranged from 37 to 51 kt over the past several hours. An earlier 06/1755Z Metop-C ASCAT pass depicted numerous 40 kt wind barbs, with a single 40–45 kt wind barb noted north of the low-level center. Based on these data, the initial intensity for this advisory is maintained, at perhaps a generous, 45 kt. The cyclone is moving westward, or 275 degrees, at 14 kt. This general motion is expected to persist tonight and Thursday, as Henriette continues to be steered by a strengthening subtropical ridge to its north. A gradual turn toward the west-northwest and eventually northwest is expected to begin Friday and continue through the weekend, as an amplifying longwave trough northwest of Hawaii begins to erode the western extent of the subtropical ridge. The official track forecast remains closely aligned with the latest multi-model consensus aids and is largely unchanged from the previous advisory. There is high confidence that the center of Henriette will remain far to the north of the Hawaiian Islands. Henriette will be moving over gradually cooling sea surface temperatures, lowering to near 24C, while mid-level relative humidity also falls below 50 percent. Despite these marginal thermodynamic conditions, Henriette’s well-established circulation is likely to remain resilient due to the low-shear environment the cyclone will be transiting through. As a result, only slight weakening is forecast during the next 12 hours or so, followed by little change in strength through 72 hours. If Henriette can survive the passage over the cooler waters, as has been advertised by the GFS and ECMWF models for several days now, re-intensification appears likely over the weekend and into early next week as sea surface temperatures warm to levels conducive for strengthening. The official intensity forecast reflects this, bringing Henriette to hurricane strength by 120 hours. The intensity forecast is mostly unchanged and remains closely aligned with the dynamical intensity guidance aid HCCA and the regional hurricane models.

SPC 0100Z Day 1 Outlook
Day 1 Convective Outlook NWS Storm Prediction Center Norman OK 0759 PM CDT Wed Aug 06 2025 Valid 070100Z - 071200Z ...THERE IS A MARGINAL RISK OF SEVERE THUNDERSTORMS FOR PARTS OF THE NORTHERN/CENTRAL PLAINS AND MIDWEST...AND ALSO FOR NORTHWEST MN... ...SUMMARY... Isolated strong to severe thunderstorms are possible across parts of the northern/central Plains to the Mid-Mississippi Valley, and over part of northern Minnesota, this evening into late tonight. ...Eastern WY/southeast MT into western/central SD/northwest NE... A favorable conditional environment remains in place this evening from eastern WY/far southeast MT into western SD/northwest NE, with moderate to strong buoyancy and effective shear of 40-50 kt. However, large-scale ascent is generally weak, and storms that developed across far eastern WY have been very isolated and relatively slow to intensify. A severe storm or two remains possible through the evening, with a threat of isolated hail and localized strong to severe gusts. Isolated strong to severe storm development also cannot be ruled out this evening across central SD, in the vicinity of diffuse surface boundary. ...Northern MN... Strong storms have developed this evening across southeast MB, in the vicinity of a surface trough. Stronger large-scale ascent and greater storm coverage are expected to remain north of the international border, but development of an isolated strong storm or two cannot be ruled out through dusk across northwest MN, within a moderately buoyant environment. ...Eastern NE/SD into IA/northern MO/northeast KS late tonight... Elevated convection may develop late tonight from eastern NE/western IA into northeast KS/northwest MO, within a low-level warm advection regime. Moderate to strong elevated buoyancy, steep midlevel lapse rates, and modestly favorable effective shear could support at least transient storm organization. One or two southeastward-moving clusters may develop overnight within this regime, with a threat of isolated hail and strong to locally damaging gusts. ...Central/eastern MT into western ND late tonight... Elevated convection may increase overnight from central into northeast MT, in advance of a mid/upper-level shortwave trough moving across the interior Northwest. Moisture and elevated buoyancy will initially be modest, though small hail and gusty winds could accompany these storms overnight. There is some potential for this convection to intercept greater moisture/instability across northeast MT very late in the period, though at this time it appears that organized-severe potential may remain limited until near/after 12Z. ..Dean.. 08/07/2025 Read more

Drought, strong winds contributed to blazes in Rio Blanco County, Colorado

2 weeks 3 days ago
High winds and extreme drought conditions in northwest Colorado have driven the rapid growth of two wildfires this week near Meeker in Rio Blanco County. The Lee Fire, west of Meeker, nearly doubled in size Tuesday, August 5, and has burned 22,497 acres, mostly on Bureau of Land Management land south of Colorado Highway 13. About 20 miles to the east, the Elk Fire was estimated at 8,304 acres. Both fires were believed to have been started by lightning strikes on Aug. 2. Colorado Newsline (Denver), Aug 6, 2025
