5 Dworshak Forecast Components (Feb 1, 2007 states)
Oct-Nov Fall Runoff Natural Flow = 174% Feb 1 Snow Water Equivalent (70% Combined Winter Precip Term) Pierce (.27 rel wt) = 77% Shanghai Summit (.20 rel wt) = 86% Lolo Pass (.19 rel wt) = 86% Hoodoo Creek (.11 rel wt) = 83% Lost Lake (.10 rel wt) = 82 Nov-Jan Precipitation (30% Combined Winter Precip Term) Avery R.S. (.40 rel wt) = % Orofino (.30 rel wt) = % Pierce (.30 rel wt) = % Kooskia R.S. (.25 rel wt) = % Fenn R.S. (.20 rel wt) = % Feb-Jun Mean Subsequent Precipitation Assumption of 80% Normal for February Assumption of 100% Normal for March-June Weighted Mean = 82% Seasonal Wt Mean = 124% This afternoons agenda I'll start out with an introduction and will be followed by...
