Here are Henry Reges’ notes from Tuesday’s webinar. From the notes:

Much of the Upper Colorado River Basin (UCRB) has only received about 50% of its normal  precipitation for the month. Areas which have seen the best precipitation are in the San Juan basin (around  the  4-­‐corners) and in the Yampa-­‐White basin. Most of the precipitation in the San Juan basin for the month fell as a result of monsoonal moisture over the past week, with some stations recording nearly an inch of rain or more. Also seeing good amounts of precipitation over the past week were the  Dolores and Gunnison basins.
