SPM 09-06-21: Clear Skies to End the Weekend

Issue Date: Monday, September 6th, 2021
Issue Time: 9:20 AM MDT

Summary:

The weekend wrapped up as promised, with clear skies across Colorado thanks to the high-pressure ridge moving eastward. A couple isolated showers popped up in very Southeast Plains with storms inching up from New Mexico and the Oklahoma panhandle, however most of the action stayed south of the state line. A CoAgMet station in Walsh picked up a quick 0.13 inches in an hour, the only notable precipitation across Colorado yesterday.

No flooding was reported on Sunday. For rainfall estimates 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 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.
