Regional drought exposure model

Decades of scattered weather-station history turned into a risk view the co-op can act on before planting, not after a bad season.

North Basin›

71%

4 stations · driest years on record: 2019, 2023

Eastern Plain›

64%

6 stations · risk trend worsening since 2020

River Delta›

44%

3 stations · irrigation buffer partly offsets risk

Highland West›

58%

5 stations · elevation amplifies year-to-year variability

South Valley›

37%

4 stations · improving trend since 2021

Coastal Flats›

18%

3 stations · marine layer keeps risk consistently low

Central Ridge›

22%

2 stations · sparse coverage, wider modeling uncertainty

Mill Creek›

41%

4 stations · watershed-fed, moderate natural buffer

Lakeside›

15%

3 stations · lake-effect moisture keeps risk lowest region-wide

High (>55%) Moderate (30–55%) Low (<30%)

North Basin and Eastern Plain carry more than double the drought risk of Coastal Flats this year — invisible in raw station data spread across 31 separate logs, obvious once modeled as one regional surface. That's the difference between reacting to a bad season and planning around one.
