Colorado may activate its Drought Task Force early due to record-low snowpack and extreme drought.
Colorado is evaluating an early activation of its Drought Task Force due to record-low snowpack—64% of normal—and prolonged warmth, with the 2026 water year ranking as the 45th lowest in 46 years.
Key basins, including the Colorado River Headwaters, remain near historic lows, and extreme drought affects nearly 9% of the state, especially the Western Slope.
Despite some improvement from February storms, most regions are still significantly below average, and experts say only well-above-normal snowfall could restore typical levels.
The task force, typically activated in summer, would coordinate responses across water supply, agriculture, wildlife, and emergency planning, with a recommendation pending from state officials to the Governor.
