The Natural Resources Conservation Service reports a warm April combined with above average precipitation for the month dropped the snowpack in the Hood, Sandy, and Lower Deschutes Basin to 66 percent of normal as of May 1.  April precipitation was 165 percent of average, .while it has been 86 percent of average since the beginning of the water year on October 1.  The Clear Lake SNOTEL site in Wasco County set a new record for the highest April precipitation in 35 years of measurements.  April also brought high streamflows in many locations in the basin, and NRCS forecasts for May through September streamflows range from 77 to 102 percent of average.  The NRCS report indicates water managers in the basin should expect well below normal to near normal streamflows this summer.
