DNRC Releases 2024 Summer Drought Report

The Montana Department of Natural Resources and Conservation (DNRC) has released the 2024 Montana Drought Outlook Report. The report provides a synopsis of recent statewide precipitation and temperature trends, snowpack information, an outlook on summer water supplies and an update on current and forecasted drought conditions.  

According to the report, much of Montana is facing abnormally dry to severe drought conditions following the winter’s low snowpack and below average rainfall during the spring and early summer. Low precipitation in June could result in widespread drought by late July.
