Hover your mouse over each gauge, or tap the gauge on your smartphone, to see a graph of weather data since midnight. A second tap on your smartphone will close the graph.
These weather gauges were painstakingly assembled using organically-sourced, tariff-free, non-meddled-with-by-Russians-when-they-were-influencing-elections, electronic components, encased in superior-quality porcelain templates approved by both the American Dental Association and the International Brotherhood of Boilermakers, Iron Ship Builders, Blacksmiths, Forgers and Helpers, as well as one CPA, a school teacher, and two lawyers (lawyers always come in twos – you can’t just get one), and overlaid with genuine 22-karat gold leaf applied by hand and carefully mounted on a heavy duty stainless steel plate recycled from the bed of a Ford F-250 truck. If you need to clean the gauges, use a clean, dry, lint-free soft cloth, preferably micro-fiber. Do not attempt to remove the gauges as this will void your warranty and likely ruin your smartphone or monitor. Also, do not tap on a gauge to correct its reading; that is only a gimmick used in movies to warn you that something is about to explode or in real life on your propane tank in the winter when the gauge is stuck. Tapping on one of these weather gauges will only preserve your fingerprints on your screen. However, if you are a movie star, tapping may result in an explosion; therefore, as a precaution, you should always wear safety goggles whilst viewing this page (or peeling vegetables or taking out a loan). Any exception(s) must be approved in advance by the United Association of Journeymen and Apprentices of the Plumbing, Pipefitting and Sprinkler Fitting Industry of the United States and Canada.

Forecast
Option 1: The National Weather Service (NWS) offers a forecast specifically extrapolated for Timber Lakes. Click here for the Timber Lakes Forecast.
Option 2: An alternative forecast for Timber Lakes is calculated by Weather Underground (WU), a commercial company owned by IBM. WU says thanks to Watson, its forecasts are more accurate than those from the NWS. Sherlock Holmes says thanks to Watson, we know about using deductive reasoning to solve crimes. Click here for the WU Timber Lakes Forecast and determine for yourself which forecast is more accurate.
Important Note: The Timber Lakes webmaster prefers Option 1, for several reasons (send us an email if you’d like to know what they are), but whichever option you like best, you should also check out the NWS Forecast Office in Salt Lake City. They post watches, warnings, advisories, maps, and other information about various weather-related issues in Utah. Click here for the NWS SLC Wesbite.

Water – or Lack Thereof
According to the U.S. Drought Monitor, Timber Lakes and the surrounding area are experiencing a significant drought for several years now. Our area is currently classified as being in Extreme Drought1. According to the PRISM Climate Group, the 30-year average annual rainfall for our area is 32.79 inches.2 Our rainfall for the most recent water year (ending September 30, 2019)3 was 34.79 inches.4 The 2019 water year was wonderful in Timber Lakes, and one of only two water years in recent history where we exceeded the 30-year average. However, one or two years do not take us out of a drought. Thank you for conserving potable water.
The annual precipitation recorded in Timber Lakes during the past few years demonstrates how far below the 30 year average we have been.

Notes:
1 The U.S. Drought Monitor is produced through a partnership between the National Drought Mitigation Center at the University of Nebraska-Lincoln, the United States Department of Agriculture, and the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration and is updated weekly.
2 The PRISM Climate Group at Oregon State University gathers climate observations from a wide range of monitoring networks, applies sophisticated quality control measures, and develops datasets to reveal short- and long-term climate patterns, covering the period from 1895 to the present. At the end of each decade, the average values of temperature and precipitation variables are computed over the preceding 30 years. The current set of 30-year annual normals covers the period 1981-2010. The 30-year-average for our area was retrieved from PRISM through CoCoRaHS on July 29, 2019.
3 As defined by the U.S. Geological Survey, the water year runs from October 1 through September 30.
4 The actual rainfall was measured at one location in Timber Lakes and may not represent every location; your mileage may vary. The water content of snow is measured by melting the snow collected in the rain gauge.
5 Lake and reservoir data provided by the Upper Colorado Region of the Bureau of Reclamation, Department of the Interior. By comparison, Flaming Gorge, in the Uintah Basin is 86% full, Lake Powell, in southeastern Utah is 47% full and Lake Mead, in Nevada is 40% full. Locally, Strawberry is 85% full, Currant Creek is at 97%, Soldier Creek is at 85%, and Starvation is at 71%.
Once a month, the US Climate Prediction Center forecasts drought conditions for the following three months. Here is the most recent prediction.
