Drought emergency for most of Washington

1 year 3 months ago
A drought emergency was declared for most of Washington due to the low snowpack and the forecast for a warm, dry spring and summer. Many watersheds were already projecting low water supplies and planning for emergency water right transfers. The Department of Ecology declared a drought to make up to $4.5 million available in drought response grants available before those impacts become severe. The new declaration will extend into 2025. Seattle, Tacoma and Everett were not included in the new drought declaration. State of Washington Department of Ecology (Olympia, Wash.), April 16, 2024 Forecasted runoff remained below 75% of normal water supply, which may cause undue hardship for water users and the environment. Agricultural areas such as the Columbia Basin could be harshly affected. Ecology is making up to $4.5 million available in drought response grants to qualifying public entities in response to impacts from the present drought conditions. KEPR 19 (Pasco, Wash.), April 18, 2024

MD 0490 CONCERNING SEVERE THUNDERSTORM WATCH 126... FOR EXTREME SOUTHEAST OK INTO MUCH OF AR...WESTERN TN...AND THE MO BOOTHEEL
Mesoscale Discussion 0490 NWS Storm Prediction Center Norman OK 0841 PM CDT Thu Apr 18 2024 Areas affected...Extreme southeast OK into much of AR...western TN...and the MO Bootheel Concerning...Severe Thunderstorm Watch 126... Valid 190141Z - 190315Z The severe weather threat for Severe Thunderstorm Watch 126 continues. SUMMARY...Some increase in severe potential remains possible later this evening. New watch issuance is possible if storms begin to increase. DISCUSSION...Convection has thus far struggled to intensify from southeast OK into western AR, likely due to remnant weak capping (as noted on the 00Z LZK sounding) and a lack of stronger large-scale ascent. However, WV imagery suggests a weak shortwave trough may be approaching the region, and a stronger cold frontal surge is expected into a larger part of AR later this evening. These factors may result in increasing storm coverage with time tonight near the front as it moves southeastward. Rich low-level moisture (with dewpoints near 70F) beneath modestly steep midlevel lapse rates will continue to support MLCAPE in excess of 2000 J/kg prior to frontal passage, with deep-layer shear remaining sufficient for organized convection. A few stronger cells/clusters may evolve with time, with an attendant threat of large hail, locally damaging winds, and possibly a tornado. With the threat eventually expected to spread eastward and extend beyond the expiration time of WW 126, new watch issuance is possible. ..Dean/Guyer.. 04/19/2024 ...Please see www.spc.noaa.gov for graphic product...
