From the Fort Collins Coloradoan (Trevor Hughes):
The [Poudre] river, as measured at the mouth of the Poudre Canyon, was below the 128-year average for the past few days but jumped above it Friday. The flow rose as high as 1,874 cubic feet per second, or cfs, on Friday; the average discharge for May 28 is about 1,500 cfs.
From The Grand Junction Daily Sentinel:
Flows in the Gunnison River through the Black Canyon and the Gunnison Gorge have dropped to around 650 cubic feet per second and will stay there for the time being, reported the Bureau last week. That’s a bit off from the 800 cfs estimated earlier for summer flows but those estimates were made before western Colorado’s version of the African Sirocco blew hot and hotter over the past week. Last week’s wind storms did more than muss your hairstyle. Snowpacks retreated faster than your 401(k) and the searing wind made a lot of that snow simply disappear. Sublimate, in the scientific terms, which means it doesn’t make the runoff but simply enters the atmosphere.
From the Associated Press via the Vail Daily:
In northern Colorado, the Cache la Poudre River was running at 1,874 cubic feet per second Friday, well above the 128-year average discharge for that date of about 1,500 cfs.
