Western summer forwards climb as The Dalles Dam falls to another season low

摘要

The Dalles Dam water supply forecast has again fallen to the lowest point of the season as summer forwards across the US West continue to set records amid supply concerns and near-term packages trend higher on an upcoming heat wave. The Dalles water supply forecast was at 83% of normal for the April-September forecast period, down 2 percentage points from a month ago and 22 points below year-ago levels, according to Northwest River Forecast Center data. Likewise, the Shasta Dam water supply forecast was at 42% of normal for the April-July period, according to California Nevada River Forecast Center data.
