1 Climate Update Wendy Ryan and Nolan Doesken Colorado Climate Center Atmospheric Science Department Colorado State University Presented to Water Availability Task Force June 26, 2008 Denver, CO Prepared by Odie Bliss

2 May 22, 2008 Tornado Unusual path traveled from southeast to northwest (from Platteville, CO to Laramie, WY) Hit east side of Windsor pretty hard 1 loss of life; ~800 homes damaged; numerous businesses, churches, etc. Small to Large damaging hail in the storm system

3 The Tornado also went through ARDEC (Northeast Fort Collins) and mangled the CoAgMet station and various buildings and equipment.

4 Water Year 2008 Temperature Departures Water Year 2008 Temperature Departure (deg F) Consecutive 6-month cooler than average temperatures have not occurred statewide since the early 1990s Oct Nov Dec Jan Feb Mar Apr May Jun Jul Aug Sep Eastern Plains Foothills Mountains Western Valleys

5 May Average Temperature History for Colorado (NCDC) May 2008: 51.9 deg F Rank: 46th coolest in 114 years. Period of record First below average May in eight years

6 Late spring temperatures have been only slightly below average. With alternating warmer and colder than average temperatures all spring, snow melt has been delayed and large peaks in runoff that could have caused flooding have largely been averted.

33 Summary Cool weather has continued for Colorado No prolonged spring heat waves to produce large peak flows. Delayed snowmelt generally good for water supplies. Severe weather has been a problem for parts of eastern Colorado.

34 Summary continued Western Slope drying now underway. Drought vulnerability continues over SE Colorado. Next anticipated weather change onset of North American Monsoon with increased chances of precipitation, especially over SW and Central Colorado.
