Rivers in the Roaring Fork Watershed are currently flowing 67-166% of normal for this time of year and have been steadily decreasing in November following significant precipitation in September and October. Despite experiencing above average precipitation over the last two months, air temperatures in the watershed have been consistently above average so far this fall. As a result, more precipitation has fallen as rainfall rather than snowfall, meaning current snowpack is just average despite above average precipitation. A similar condition occurred last winter when historically high air temperatures caused many storms to produce rain rather than snow at most elevations. As we are only a month and a half into the new water year, there is still time for weather to cool and snow to fall, but temperatures will remain a critical factor for building snowpack in the months ahead.
