Near most of the state is out of the drought monitor with just the far west and east sides still in different sectors of dryness. Ample snow in high elevations will build up supplies of water when the runoff starts. Currently the state's Snotels are at 126% of median with the basin high of 165% and the basin low of 107%. Last year the state was at 78% and at 85% in 2021.
