Summary:
A cold-front moved across state from the northwest corner to the southeast starting in the late afternoon yesterday, continuing eastward overnight. The frontal passage brought slightly cooler temperatures and dryer air across the state. There was some early daytime convection on the eastern plains associated with a dryline trough, but little, if any, precipitation associated with these isolated storms. Flooding was not reported on Thursday. For precipitation totals in your area, including antecedent rainfall, check out the State Precipitation Map below.

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 24-hour, 48-hour and 72-hour total precipitation contain bias corrections that are not disaggregated into the hourly estimates, so there will likely be some differences. 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.
