Fine weather snowmelt

Stage = 55cm, Ta = 11C

Fine weather snowmelt conditions have continued for the past two weeks. Precipitation of just 3mm on April 15 and 6.5mm on April 21 was barely enough to disturb the daily snowmelt pattern which dominates the hydrograph shown below. However, the fluctuations in stage due to snowmelt are less than 10cm and decreasing in magnitude which indicates that the snowmelt season will soon be finished for this basin.
