Colorado Water
Climatologists are watching this year's El Niño hoping that it will produce a wet spring, according to the Denver Post [November 13, 2004, "El Niño may toss snow at Colorado"]. From the article, "The last time temperatures in the Pacific Ocean near the Equator were like they are now, El Niño helped whip up the strongest snowstorm to hit Colorado in 90 years...As of Friday, each of the state's river basins except the Arkansas has seen average or above-average precipitation, but November so far has been drier than normal. Precipitation ranges from 20 percent above average in the southwest to 17 percent below average in the Arkansas River Basin. Northeastern Colorado is average."
