Only Park Reservoir, Red Mountain <br />Pass, and Schofield Pass SNOTEL sites have measurable snow remaining on June 1, and the <br />amount at each of the sites is extremely below average for this time of year. Basinwide the <br />snowpack is only 18% of average, but even this meager amount is better than last year when there <br />was no measurable snow left anywhere in the basin. Precipitation measured at the 12 SNOTEL <br />sites in the basin was only 93% of average during May. The total precipitation received this <br />water year is only 87% of average. The combined storage for 8 major reservoirs in the basin is <br />19% above average for this time of year. There is 11 % less storage than last year on June I. <br />Nearly all of the streamflow forecasts for the Basin are significantly below average with the <br />exception of Cochetopa Creek below Rock Creek, which is forecasted at 127% of average. The <br />rest remain highly variable, ranging from only 50% of average at the Inflow to Paonia Reservoir, <br />to 98%% of average on Lake Fork at Gateview. <br />
