Condition Monitoring Report  
Station Number: ID-BK-27
Station Name: Inkom 5.5 N
Report Date: 4/28/2024
Submitted: 4/28/2024 6:26 AM
Scale Bar: Near Normal
Description:
General:  This is about normal moisture for this time of year.  The mud season is drawing to a close.
Agriculture:  Our normal moisture bodes well for crops.  Spring is earlier by a couple of weeks, based on birds returning.  Soil moisture is 50% at 3".
Fire: Low risk right now because it is still pretty cool (35 degrees F right now)
Plants/wildlife: We have frogs!  That is such a treat, because it's been quite a while since we've heard them.  We also saw a terrestrial garter snake (adult size).  Magpies are nesting about 2 weeks early relative to prior years.
Water:  Our snowpack is pretty much average this year, so we should be in pretty good shape downstream.  The Portneuf River is still flooding.
