Given all the rain and snow in this summer I've been watching the snow pack and reservoir levels for months. The SRP reservoir levels have been boring since they've been pegged at 100%.

Just in the last few days has it dropped to 99%. But now we're getting weird early monsoon storms.

More rain in yesterday. SRP reservoir system at 95%, Roosevelt at 98%. The only thing not in the 90% is Horseshoe which is at 74% and there's probably plenty of runoff to come.

Another cloudy day in . There's still snow uphill in the Verde and Salt Watersheds. Roosevelt is at 89%. I guess the salt and verde reservoirs will be effectively full at the end of the season.

There's more snow in Northern , rain across the state. The Salt River reservoirs are at 81% and Verde at 70%. There was even thunder and lightning with last night's storm. NOTE the snowpack increased since my Feb 7 update.

The USDA has an interactive site that compares current with historical snow pack information by watershed, country wide I think. So for the area served by SRP you can see the Salt and Verde areas here:

Roosevelt is at 73% (up from 69% a few days ago). It's snowing in Flagg, there's snow pack up north, looks like the Verde reservoirs (currently 60%) will benefit the most from that melting so far.

So, it's snowier this year ...

I love satellite imagery. Here's the GOES West (18) full disk animation for Upper Level Water Vapor.
