Colorado River and Utah Basins June 1, 2023 Condition Report Published on June 11, 2023 – Again Slightly Less Good than the Prior Month but Still Looking Very Good
The mission of the National Weather Service Colorado Basin River Forecast Center (CBRFC) is to produce river, flood and water supply forecasts for the Colorado Basin and the Great Basin in support of saving lives and property and to enhance the region’s environment and economy.
In this article, I am providing a summary of the situation as of June 1, 2023. The situation is very good but flood risk from the snow meltdown has increased in a few places.
I have also included information on the current reservoir storage levels including a few that are outside of the Colorado River Basin.
The image below shows part of the area covered in the CBRFC Report. The map shown here is only the Colorado Basin. The Eastern Great Basin is to the west of this map. The maps shown in the article cover both basins but are not as scenic as this map.
