Abstract

On April 1, 1938, the snow‐pack in the Fort Peck Headwaters Area was 116 per cent of normal. However, in view of the dry conditions which had persisted through 1937, and in anticipation of a continued deficiency in precipitation, it was predicted that the runoff above Fort Peck during the four‐month period, April to July 1938, would be only approximately 50 per cent of normal. This forecast was not subsequently revised. Actually, the precipitation which occurred, was above normal (130 per cent of normal) for the first time in several years, and the resulting runoff was 89 per cent of normal.
