	Monitoring the weather and climate of the Colorado River Basin is made possible by an extensive network of regular observations of weather variables such as temperature, precipitation, humidity, and winds. This "meta-network" actually comprises many individual weather station networks (e.g., RAWS; Figure 1) that have been separately established and maintained, usually to serve particular monitoring purposes (e.g., agriculture, water supply). Data from the vast majority of these weather stations can be accessed in near-real-time (with lags from 5 minutes to one day) from online portals (see Data and tools below); archived data from previous months and years are also typically available.
