9/18 Drought Update 🌵: We saw more beneficial precipitation last week, which prompted widespread improvements in western and southern Colorado in this week's US Drought Monitor. Good news for now, but we'll need additional moisture to continue chipping away at those longer-term deficits.

Last week's sorely needed rain across western Colorado was enough to remove the D4 (exceptional) drought in the northwest. Still, though, 25% of the state is in D3 (extreme) drought, with very large precipitation deficits going back to the beginning of the year. #cowx climate.colostate.edu/drought/

“The biggest factor is the dry spring conditions and layered on top of them a much drier than normal summer,” said Peter Goble, assistant state climatologist. “We will be watching those base flows but also soil moisture levels as we go into fall and early winter to see if those pick back up.” #cowx
Low river flows trigger calls, closures, stressed fish - Aspen Journalism
Streamflows on the Western Slope have plummeted over the last month, sending water managers scrambling to boost flows for endangered fish and ranking it among the driest years in recent history.
