Idaho drought worsens earlier amid hot dry forecast
Steve Allred, head of Idaho drought efforts, warned that this month's heat hastens drought effects by a month and could trigger June power shortages. He cited rapid snowmelt reducing mountain storage and limited streamflow for farmers, with Jordan Creek in Owyhee County and Little Wood River irrigators near water exhaustion. Livestock forage and feed shortages loom for fall.
