Summary: 

Rivers in the Roaring Fork Watershed continue to flow below average at 14-49% of normal for this time of year. It is likely that the Roaring Fork River in Glenwood Springs and the Crystal River in Redstone peaked on June 7 at 1,870 cfs and 980 cfs, respectively. For the Roaring Fork River, this would be the lowest peak flow on record in a 120-year dataset.

Hot temperatures, four Red Flag Warnings, three Fire Weather Watch Warnings, and several wildfires have ignited since the beginning of June. Stage 1 fire restrictions are currently in place in Pitkin, Eagle, and Garfield Counties and all public lands. Local water and fire restrictions can be found at www.roaringfork.org/drought.
