* Precipitation since October 1 (beginning of the water year). Monthly Precip is the amount of precipitation accumulated in the past month. SCAN sites utilize tipping bucket rain gauges which do not accurately measure precipitation in the form of snowfall. Soil moisture and temperature values reflect conditions measured on the first of the month.

Surface soil moisture is the weighted mean of the water content measured at depths of 2, 4, and 8 inches. FC is the mean field capacity, WP is the mean permanent wilting point for the soil surface (0 to 12 inches) at SCAN sites within the region, and WY is the water year lasting October through September. Profile soil moisture is the weighted mean of water content measured at depths of 2, 4, 8, 20, and 40 inches. Additional data available at the SCAN website, including: hourly air temperature, relative humidity, wind speed, wind direction, barometric pressure, precipitation, solar radiation, soil temperature, and soil moisture.
