Summary:
With an upper ridge still in place over Colorado, the environment needed some help to allow for scattered thunderstorms to develop. Along came an upper-level disturbance to provide just that, and eastern Colorado was the target. With the amount of moisture present, precipitation processes were fairly efficient, and slow storm motions allowed for multiple rain gauges to measure near, or above, 1 inch. From CoCoRaHS, those reports include:
Pueblo County: 1.12 inches
Jefferson County: 0.94 inches
Otero County: 0.90 inches
Teller County: 0.71 inches
From National Weather Service reports, heavy rain to the tune of 1.32 inches fell 1 mile S of Beulah (Pueblo County).
No flash flooding was reported yesterday. For a statewide look at rainfall, please check out the STP map below.
