The Climate of Colorado –
Where have we been and what lies ahead.
--Nolan Doesken, CSU Climatologist and CoCoRaHS Program
Director
This presentation will summarize weather conditions experienced
in Colorado during 2006 including the snowy winter in the
Northern Mountains, the warm and very dry spring, and the hot
summer with active monsoonal moisture that soaked some parts of
the state. Current weather conditions and water supplies will
be described as well as the status of global climate
indicators. An assessment of their possible influences on
weather conditions for the 2007 growing season will be
presented. Doesken will also describe the CoCoRaHS project
(Community Collaborative Rain, Hail, and Snow network) where
hundreds of citizens from all over Colorado are helping track
both the dry and wet weather patterns in their own local
communities. More weather watchers are still needed to help
fill the gaps between existing weather stations to better
observe and track Colorado’s incredibly variable climate.
