Heavy January snows lift basin forecast toward normal
Heavy January snows boosted Uintah Basin precipitation to about 130 percent of normal and raised low snowpack to around 60 percent. Weather officials say runoff forecasts improve, with Duchesne River near Tabiona at 103 percent of average and other rural basins near or above norms. Snow surveys note varied snowpack across Indian Canyon and Lake Fork Mountain, with moisture deficits still likely to require late-season precipitation.
