What is Weatherwatch: January 2023 about?
hree weeks of frenetically stormy weather from the Sierra Nevada to the western slopes of the central Rockies ensured above-average seasonal snowfall, even if dry weather were to return for the final two months of the 2022-2023 winter wet season. The extraordinary stormy spell, which had begun in late December, helped to fill some smaller reservoirs but also caused extensive damage, primarily in California due to river flooding and debris flows. Some of the worst large-scale flooding occurred in the heavily agricultural Salinas Valley, which endured breached levees and inundation of fields, roads, and farm infrastructure and equipment.Given the cold (monthly temperatures locally averaging more than 4°F below normal), stormy weather in the West, almost all the high-elevation precipitation went into building snowpack. According to the California Department of Water Resources, the average water equivalency of the Sierra Nevada snowpack stood near 34 inches at month's end, more than twice the late-January normal and nearly 130% of the typical end-of-season average.Periodically significant precipitation affected other areas of the West, although January totals were below average in part
