It will be so nice to see my area off the dreaded drought monitor soon! I have a incredible 7 plus inches since March 1st. My ponds are almost full! Going back to Dec 1st 2023 I am steadily running surpluses. Except for the pultry .14 in Feb.
A lot of good can happen in May/June, we could be building the snowpack rather than melting it, and that would make a huge posotive difference on the snowpack.
If its any consolation... the "drought" prone areas are generally related to mountain snow and its really hard to make up mountain snow deficits in May regardless of the pattern.
Pretty crazy that over the course of the 160 miles between us you can go from just 57% of YTD precip (Omaha) to 109% of YTD precip (Sioux Falls). You've been awfully close to getting in on the action but storms seem to continuously crap the bed at the last second in your area. Sure hope you can get precip back on track soon!
