NORTHERN UTAH — A closer look at water year precipitation totals across Utah reveals a surprisingly balanced picture heading into early March, with most mountain observation sites in northern Utah sitting near seasonal averages.
Data covering October 1, 2025 through March 1, 2026 shows that many high-elevation sites are reporting around 100% of the 1991–2020 median precipitation, suggesting the region’s snowpack and moisture levels are generally on track for this point in the season.
Mountain Sites Near Normal Across Northern Utah
Observation points in the mountains east of Salt Lake City, Ogden, Logan and Provo are largely clustered in the 90%–109% of normal range. Several sites even exceed 110%, indicating slightly above-average precipitation in parts of the Wasatch Range.
Key regions showing near-normal totals include:
- The Wasatch Mountains east of Ogden and Salt Lake City
- Mountain zones near Logan and the Bear River Range
- Higher terrain surrounding Provo and Utah Lake
The overall takeaway: northern Utah’s mountain precipitation mean is hovering around 100% of normal — a steady and stable water year so far.
