September 27, 2022 by ·

Issue Date: Tuesday, September 27th, 2022
Issue Time: 10:50 AM MDT

Summary:

A beautiful fall day greeted most Coloradoans on Monday with clear skies thanks to the continued dominance of the upper-level ridge on our local weather. Slightly increased moisture for southern areas of the state led to isolated showers and storms over the highest elevations of the San Juan and Southeast Mountains once again. Precipitation was only recorded at a handful of mountain stations, with no more than 0.20” observed.

No flooding was reported yesterday. For precipitation estimates in our area, check out the map below. Remember, if you observe flooding in your area, you can use the “Report a Flood” page to make a flood report when you can safely do so.

The map below shows radar-estimated, rainfall gage-adjusted Quantitative Precipitation Estimates (QPE) across Colorado. The map is updated daily during the operational season (May 1 – Sep 30) by 11AM. The following six layers are currently available: 24-hour, 48-hour and 72-hour total precipitation, as well as maximum 1-hour, 2-hour and 6-hour precipitation over the past 24 hour period (to estimate where flash flooding may have occurred). The accumulation ending time is 7AM of the date shown in the bottom right corner. Also shown optionally are vulnerable fire burn areas (post 2012), which are updated throughout the season to include new, vulnerable burn areas. The home button in the top left corner resets the map to the original zoom.

SPM 09-24-2022: Skies Clear, Dry Friday

September 24, 2022 by ·

Issue Date: Saturday, September 24th, 2022
Issue Time: 9:30 AM MDT

Summary:

High pressure moved into Colorado from the west on Friday, scouring out residual moisture from the late-season monsoonal event of the last few days. The influx of dry air helped to erode cloud cover and brought clear skies, fair conditions, and gusty winds statewide. Aside from a handful of isolated stations reporting T-0.03”, no precipitation was observed.
