Snow Run-Off Forecast Reports Mixed Water Outlook for Wyoming
The 1959 Snow Run-Off Forecasts show near normal inflow for the North Platte and good overall supply, but with below normal storage at Boysen and Wind River reservoirs. Snowpack varies with pockets of deficiency on the Popo Agie and Green River flows generally below average yet adequate for local demands. Readings from May 1959 show several basins at or below historical norms, signaling a complex irrigation season ahead in the Big Piney area.
