  • Snowpack conditions have improved in most basins, and are near or above normal in all of Utah and Colorado, and southern and far western Wyoming. Conditions in the rest of Wyoming are lagging well behind normal.
  • The current El Niño event has peaked but remains very strong. El Niño conditions are nearly certain to continue through the spring, which is reflected in a wet tilt for Colorado and Utah in the seasonal forecasts.
