As we are seeing now, much of the snow is already melted out and there will not be a summer surge of water into rivers\/streams\/lakes\/reservoirs.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>He said this means less water will be available for plants, animals, humans and agriculture later on this summer. Fuchs noted that those who provide irrigation water are already alerting customers to a reduced delivery. &#8220;It also means that we will see less water in storage, moving forward, and that could lead to more water restrictions.&#8221;<\/p>\n<partner-banner util-module-path=\"elements\/partner\" fluid=\"\" bottom=\"\" lazy=\"\" class=\"spacer-large\" min-height=\"390\" outstream=\"\"\/>\n<h2 class=\"presto-h2 wp-block-heading\">Is there hope for precipitation this summer?<\/h2>\n<p>Gratz added a hopeful note: &#8220;<a href=\"https:\/\/www.usatoday.com\/story\/news\/weather\/2026\/03\/12\/noaa-forecast-strong-el-nino-coming\/89104492007\/\">The building El Nin\u0303o<\/a> could create wetter-than-average conditions for some areas this spring, summer, and fall, so perhaps the atmosphere will now work to get us out of the drought that it created.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>Kines agreed, noting that &#8220;there is some light at the end of the tunnel. The weather pattern during late June and July could offer several rounds of thunderstorms, which would be very beneficial.&#8221;<\/p>\n<lit-timestamp class=\"column ten-column no-gutter spacer-small\" slot=\"timestamp\" publishdate=\"2026-04-29 10:02:09.643241872 +0000 UTC\" updatedate=\"2026-04-29 13:39:43.513806287 +0000 UTC\"\/><\/div>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.usatoday.com\/story\/news\/weather\/2026\/04\/29\/snow-storm-colorado-despite-snow-drought\/89835210007\/\">Source link <\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>After months of a snow drought, the forecast calls for snow up to two feet in the highest elevations of the Colorado Rockies as May begins.
