WATCH LIVE: California officials to release April snowpack survey results.
Officials with the California Department of Water Resources conducted it fourth snow survey of the season at Philips Station in the Sierra Nevada.
The survey recorded 126.5% inches of snow depth and a snow water equivalent of 54 inches. It is 221% of the April average, officials said.The California Department of Water Resources measures the April water content in the snowpack as it is a key indicator for future water supply. Officials said there have been three other years where April's snowpack has been greater than 200% of average: 1950 to 1969, and 1983.
While the record snowpack means record-breaking snowmelt for spring, officials said it does bring flooding concerns. Officials say this will depend on how quickly the state warms up, but they say longer daylight hours trigger a faster snow melt. They're waiting on final data to determine if we've set a record
