Hydrologic Outlook

Hydrologic Outlook issued March 21 at 3:39PM MDT by NWS Pueblo CO

ESFPUB This outlook is primarily for Teller County and western El Paso County for elevations between 7,500 and 11,000 feet. This outlook is valid from March 21 to March 28, 2024. The potential for increased runoff and inundation of low-lying areas, due to accelerated snowmelt potential, is higher than normal in Teller County and western El Paso County. ...OUTLOOK FOR THE NEXT 7 DAYS... Warmer daytime temperatures have initiated snowmelt runoff from a well above normal snowpack in Teller and western El Paso Counties for elevations between 7,500 and 11,000 feet. Snow water equivalent (SWE) values of this snowpack currently range from 1 to 6 inches for areas below 11,000 feet. Minor inundation of roadways and low-lying areas have been reported around the county over the last 24 hours. Overnight low temperatures dropping below freezing have and will likely continue to create icy and hazardous road conditions in the early morning hours for the next 7 days. A relatively warm storm system is expected to impact the area beginning Sunday afternoon, March 24, and last through the early morning hours on Monday, March 25. This system has the potential to produce rainfall over this melting snowpack before transitioning to snow during the evening and overnight hours. While colder overnight low temperatures and cloudier conditions will help slow snowmelt rates during the storm event, additional precipitation will add to current snowpack SWE values and increase snowmelt runoff potential as daytime temperatures begin to warm by the middle of next week. With colder overnight temperatures and low streamflow levels, which are normal and typical for late March, flooding of area creeks and waterways is not anticipated at this time. Minor inundation of some roadways and low-lying areas from snowmelt runoff though will likely persist through the end of next week. ...ADDITIONAL INFORMATION...
