Hydrologic Outlook issued June 3 at 9:29AM MDT by NWS Pueblo CO

Effective: Tue June 3, 2025, 9:29 AM
Expires: Fri June 6, 2025, 6:00 PM

ESFPUB Risk of enhanced runoff and elevated stream flows from snowmelt ...EXISTING CONDITIONS... Warmer temperatures in the upper Arkansas River Valley has led to accelerated melting of the remaining, near normal mountain snowpack. This trend will likely continue for the remainder of the week. ...PRECIPITATION... Approximately 0.25 to 0.5 inches of rain over the next 72 hours may fall over much of the area of concern. The potential for some rain- on-snow, along with warmer temperatures, could accelerate melting of the remaining snowpack. ...STREAMFLOW CONDITIONS AND RUNOFF FORECASTS... Streams and rivers in the area could see elevated flows of swift, cold water over the next several days. Low lying areas and valley floors could see some minor inundation from snowmelt. Stay away from fast moving water, exercise caution near riverbanks and stay alert to watches and warnings from the National Weather Service.

The times presented here are based upon the solunar theory, which is the idea that the movements of fish and other animals are affected by the location of the sun and moon. The major periods are believed to be the times of the greatest animal activity and occur when the moon is directly overhead or underfoot (lunar transits). The minor periods also see increased activity and occur when the moon is rising or setting. The strongest activity occurs during full or new moons, and the weakest during quarter or three quarter moons. This is indicated by the Action Rating.
