UPDATE ON DROUGHT and SNOWPACK

100% = AVERAGE
We are BELOW AVG for snowpack across the southern half of Colorado. This is affecting our drought in some areas.

Drought monitoring involves a few different metrics: hydrological cycle, including snowpack, precipitation, temperature, streamflow, and soil moisture.

Reminder: Snowpack can act as a natural reservoir, providing water through the drier spring and summer months. Lack of snowpack storage, or a change in timing of snowmelt from that reservoir, can be a challenge for drought planning.

This is not too surprising given the weak La Nina we have been in for late '24 to early '25, which typically favors our northern mtns to receive more snow due to frequency of storms.
