Despite the recent onset of rain in Eagle County, drought conditions remain at historic levels, ranging from severe to exceptional across the region.
Eagle County, along with almost all of Western Colorado, has been experiencing this drought cycle for over a year now. And conditions across the Western Slope remain dry enough that late last week, Gov. Jared Polis declared a drought emergency for 21 Western Colorado counties
, including Eagle County.
According to Becky Bolinger, the assistant state climatologist at the Colorado Climate Center, these conditions became severe late last summer and early fall due to a lack of monsoon moisture, no precipitation and very hot temperatures. And then, conditions spiraled from there.
Rain helps fighting Colorado wildfires but hurts burn scar areas
Rain is acting as a double-edged sword in Colorado. It helps with fire containment, but also creates mudslides. Author: Darius Johnson Updated: 5:35 PM MDT June 30, 2021
COLORADO, USA The rain is playing two different roles in Colorado. It’s allowing fire crews to create fire lines and requiring Colorado Department of Transportation (CDOT) crews to work a harder to keep people safe as they monitor mudslides in burn scar areas. As of noon today [Wednesday] we are expecting rain in the forecast,” said Elise Thatcher, CDOT Region 3 Communications Manager.
CDOT is preparing as best as they can for new troubles caused by the 2020 wildfire season, especially in and around Glenwood Canyon near the Grizzly Creek burn scar.
