Residents of Dodge City are asked to conserve water due to heat and drought. A water watch is declared when the city’s water storage falls below 75% and does not recover within 12 hours and/or water demand for five days exceeds an average of 10.75 million gallons per day. The trigger for the current water watch is high water demand. KWCH 12 (Wichita, Kan.), June 17, 2022

The 2022 California Triathlon scheduled for June 12 was canceled due to low water levels at New Melones Lake, which was at 34% of capacity. The Wall Street Journal (New York), June 19, 2022

Prineville Reservoir in central Oregon was 29% full for the lowest level in more than 20 years. The water line is below all three developed ramps, leaving just two dirt ones that are not used frequently as people fear getting stuck in the mud. The Wall Street Journal (New York), June 19, 2022

Area businesses near Lake Mead were struggling as the depleted reservoir drew fewer visitors. Houseboat revenues have dropped by 30% in 2022 compared to the previous year as guests canceled their plans. A marina at Callville Bay has moved nearly daily and has inched out 900 feet so far in 2022 to be able to keep houseboats and private vessels afloat. Crews of eight divers accomplish the moves, using steel cables to 170 concrete anchors weighing 12,000 pounds apiece. While moving the marina is costly, it’s important to maintain water access for existing customers. The Wall Street Journal (New York), June 19, 2022

Five boat ramps at Lake Mead have been closed, due to low water levels, as the ramps no longer reached the water. With fewer boat ramps available, the wait time was a matter of hours to put a boat in the water. To maintain water access via an open boat ramp, crews put down metal mats to continue road access to the ramp as the water level at Lake Mead fell another 10 feet as water was held upstream to support Lake Powell.

New Braunfels has been in Stage 2 restrictions since April. The J-17 well fell below 640 feet, which is the trigger for Stage 3 restrictions, but New Braunfels’ water resources, combined with conservation and water stewardship, mitigate the need for Stage 3 restrictions. New Braunfels Utilities could change their recommendation to the mayor if conditions change. New Braunfels Herald-Zeitung (Texas), June 13, 2022

BACKGROUND: At 6:36 p.m. on June 11, 2022, a fire was reported to Angeles National Forest Dispatch by San Bernardino County. The fire was initially reported as approximately 1/4 of an acre in size. Firefighting units headed to the scene quickly. This fire is near Wrightwood, CA.   As of approximately 8:30 p.m., the fire was reported at approximately 30 acres in size. Currently, firefighters, engines, aircraft, and other resources have been on the scene. Night-flying operations are ongoing at this time. Angeles National Forest fire staff are on the scene. Cooperators include San Bernardino County Fire and CAL FIRE BDU. The cause of the fire is under investigation.   As of June 11, 2022, at 10:15 p.m. - There are no evacuations at this time. The fire is approximately 1.3 miles from the nearest structures at Desert Front Road in Wrightwood, CA. The fire is currently estimated at 35 acres at a moderate rate of spread. It is burning in heavy fuels/vegetation. There is 0%...

On Sunday, June 12, 2022, the Coronado National Forest responded to three new starts at approximately 10:45 AM near Manzanita Mountain, Nogales Ranger District. The three starts combined to create the Tonto Canyon Fire. The fire is currently under the leadership of the local Type 4 Incident Management Organization. Mike Cachero and Francesca Amanna (t) from the local Nogales Ranger District. Firefighters will continue mopping up and reinforcing the lines. They will continue to work with Mexico’s firefighters to ensure that all lines are secure on both sides of the border. Acreage in the U.S.: 9,426 Acreage in Mexico: 3,000 Containment: 60% The team doesn’t anticipate much change in acreage moving forward as the majority of the interior pockets have already burned out. It is important that all visitors remain out of the area to allow the firefighters to effectively do their jobs. A closure order, Tonto Canyon Fire Closure Order: 03-05-02-22-028, is in effect for Ruby Road. ROAD...

There has also been a few more clusters of deep convection developing just west of Celia's estimated low-level center. Despite this activity, none of it is especially well-organized and remains primarily down-shear of Celia's vortex. However, it is enough coverage for now to keep Celia as a classifiable tropical cyclone. The initial intensity remains 25 kt this advisory, favoring the lower SAB Dvorak classification given the lackluster winds found with overnight scatterometer and a ship report near the center. Celia's motion continues off to the west, estimated at 265/7 kt. The track guidance is in fairly good agreement that a west-southwest motion will continue for the next 36 h as Celia is steered by a deep-level ridge to the north supplemented by low-level northerly flow from a gap wind event in the Gulf of Tehuantepec. Afterwards, a turn to the west and west-northwest is anticipated as Celia becomes positioned on the southwest side of the deep-layer ridging. The NHC track forecast was nudged slightly south again from the prior one following a southward adjustment in the latest consensus aids (HCCA, TVCE). Moderate to strong east-northeasterly vertical wind shear over the next 24-36 hours still appears likely to keep Celia in check, and the system is forecast to remain a depression during that time. Afterwards, both the GFS- and ECMWF-based SHIPS guidance indicates this shear should gradual subside as the system moves over 28-29 C sea-surface temperatures. The majority of the intensity guidance responds to this environment by showing intensification, and the latest NHC intensity forecast was nudged upward just a bit after 36 hours. This forecast is a blend between the lower HCCA and higher IVCN consensus aids, and is quite close to the most recent COAMPS-TC (CTCI) forecast in 120 hours.

The storm is maintaining an area of deep convection to the east of the exposed low-level center. The Dvorak classifications continue to range between 35 and 45 kt, and based on that data, the initial intensity is held at 40 kt. Blas is already over cool 25 degree C waters, and it is headed for even cooler waters and into a drier and more stable air mass. These conditions should cause the storm to decay, and it will likely become a remnant low on Monday and dissipate in 3 to 4 days. The storm is moving slowly west-northwestward at 6 kt. An even slower westward motion is expected within the low-level flow until the system dissipates. The NHC track forecast is a touch slower than the previous one, trending toward the latest consensus aids.
