Northwest streamflows point to drought in 2005.
Governor Kulongoski is warning Oregonians to prepare for drought this summer, though he won't make an official declaration until next week. The warning is not surprising given the low streamflows in the state. Check out the US Geological Survey map--red and orange dots represent very low stream levels.
Washington isn't doing any better. The snowpack available to Seattle City Light remains significantly below levels in 2001, the most recent drought year.
