Drought worries

Colorado’s record-low snowpack is raising concerns about increased wildfire risk and water shortages this summer. Past historic fire seasons were preceded by winters with well-below-average snowpacks. Statewide, the snowpack levels are 61% of median, and it would take consistent, record-breaking snowfall for the rest of the season to reach normal snowpack levels.
