One bright spot, Domonkos said, is that the snowpack in the Upper Rio Grande River basin is doing relatively well at 92 percent of normal.
"The Rio Grande has over the past few years kind of been one the lower basins for snowpack that we've see in the state, and this year to have it be one of the higher ones is refreshing," he said.
On the other hand, the Upper Colorado River basin is one area that's falling well short of average, with its snowpack at 68 percent of normal.
"It is slightly worse than (in) 2002," which Domonkos said was "one of the drier years on record for snowpack and for annual precept."
There's still a chance that things can turn around this season. But he said the current outlooks show that's unlikely.
