## Caption

In April, regional precipitation was below to much below normal, particularly in eastern Colorado, northern Utah, and southeastern Wyoming, with some areas experiencing record-dry conditions. Temperatures were generally near normal, with some pockets of above normal temperatures scattered throughout the region. As of May 1, statewide percent median SWE was 58% in Colorado, 66% in Utah, and 86% in Wyoming. Seasonal streamflow volume forecasts are mostly below to much below average for the region. Regional drought coverage in late April remained at 54%, with extreme drought developing in Colorado, persisting in Utah, and improving in Wyoming. ENSO-neutral conditions are expected to continue through early fall. The NOAA seasonal outlook for May-July suggests an increased probability of below average precipitation and above average temperatures in the region.
