| Moving to Moderately Dry from Severely Dry on the strength of the rain and snow we have received over the past few weeks. PRISM Precipitation Normals for my location are: MTD 195% of Normal, YTD 82% of Normal, and WYTD 76% of Normal. The main issue as I see it is that there is very little snowpack for this time of year. Snotel sites are reporting 14% of Median for my 6-Digit HUC and 6% of Median for my 8-Digit HUC. The three river gauges I am following all show much lower flow than average for this time of year. That is not a good sign for long term water supply this summer. The Estes Valley Fire Protection District is at Stage 2 restriction: Open fires are banned. Larimer County has Fire Restrictions in place for all elevations. The National Park is still at Stage 1 Fire Restrictions. Trails in the park are beginning to clear of snow and ice, making most traction devices unnecessary. My yard is really getting green this past week. Most grasses and sedges are growing well. Shrubs are looking pretty good but some are showing stress. The deer and elk have been around this week enjoying the new green growth. Birds continue to visit the birdbath. |

| The previous week was dry, taking a slightly wet environment to dry rather quickly, especially with several above normal hot days. Then on the 24th of May we had a lovely wet day, bumping our catch for the week into .9 territory [all over two days]. Before those two days, our river dropped significantly and I don’t expect a rise, due to the SE angle of the frontal weather as it passed. Outdoor plants had to be watered early week due to dryness combined with heat. Temperatures should moderate now. |

| Only .42" precip for May, historically one of the wettest months (normal is 2-3"). Hot temperaures returned the past few days with a high of 81 today, and forecast high of 85 tomorrow. Not much rain in the forecast. Streams appear to have peaked. There is still quite a bit of snow above 8000' (about normal) but below that it has all melted off, which is abnormal. We are watering the garden daily. |
