S <br /> BASIN ASSESSMENTS cont. <br /> Yampa/White <br /> Runoff is forecast to be 80% of average ranging from 80% for the Little <br /> Snake River basin to 91% for the Laramie River basin. The flow for the month <br /> of February for the key index station, White River near Boise, averaged 350 <br /> cfs as compared to the normal flow of 416 cfs. Yamcolo and Stagecoach <br /> Reservoirs are currently storing 42,000 acre-feet. Soil moisture is <br /> classified as being fair. <br /> San Juan/Dolores <br /> The SWSI value of -3.5 is the lowest in the state and indicates moderate <br /> to severe drought conditions. Runoff is forecast to be 38% of average ranging <br /> from 27% for the Dolores River above McPhee Reservoir to 44% for the Florida <br /> River basin. The flow for the month of January for the key index station, La <br /> Plata River near Hesperus, averaged 1.2 cfs as compared to the normal flow of <br /> 7.5 cfs. Although reservoir storage is only 38% of average, this does not <br /> include storage in McPhee Reservoir which currently is at 274,000 acre-feet. <br /> As McPhee Reservoir did not begin to store water until 1984, there is <br /> insufficient historic record for comparison. Soil moisture is classified as <br /> being very poor to critically low. <br />
