Drought in Upper Gunnison River Valley, Colorado

Extreme (D3) Drought conditions have only been analyzed along the far northwestern corner of the zone. However, these conditions remained largely unchanged during the month of June.

Conditions ran warmer than normal in the month of June, but enough moisture made it into eastern Utah and western Colorado to at least prevent a significant worsening of the drought. However, there was very little improvement in terms of the extent of Extreme (D3) Drought, with all the zones that began the month with Extreme (D3) Drought conditions also finishing the month with them.
