Data from the 4th quarter of 2025 paints a less than ideal picture for the Utah Water Supply Outlook to start 2026 but northeastern Utah is actually in a better position than most of the state. Other areas of the state, including the Wasatch Front down through southern Utah, is below 50% of the average snowpack for this time of year and statewide precipitation is down overall as well. Snowpack in the Northeastern Uintas is below normal at 82% of median, compared to 99% at this time last year. Precipitation in December was well above normal at 138%, which brings the seasonal accumulation (October-December) to 108% of median. Soil moisture is at 54% saturation compared to 50% saturation last year. Reservoir storage is 78% of capacity, compared to 82% last year. Snowpack in the Duchesne River Basin is below normal at 81% of median, compared to 94% at this time last year. Precipitation in December was above normal at 120%, which brings the seasonal accumulation (October-December) to 110% of median. Soil moisture is at 51% saturation compared to 33% saturation last year. Reservoir storage is 81% of capacity, compared to 86% last year.
