The latest SNOTEL reports indicate that the snowpack has peaked and begun to run off in the Colorado River headwaters. The Yampa, Upper Green, and Upper Colorado snowpacks all peaked well above average, while the Duchesne and San Juan Basins peaked below average, and the Gunnison Basin overall peaked at about average (wetter to the north, drier to the south). The related drought outlook shows Colorado mostly in the clear, but persistence or intensifying drought tendency to the South and West.
