Colorado drought conditions as of June 1st, 2021.
Heavy rains over the last month have eased drought conditions across most of the Front Range and adjacent plains, and even the central mountains are now only in a moderate drought. Despite the wet weather over the last month, Colorado is an arid climate and is constantly under the threat of wildfires. It won t take much to dry out our grasses and bring fire danger back to our minds.
