Summary:
A slight push of moisture accompanied a weak monsoon disturbance yesterday afternoon and evening, bringing increased coverage of showers/thunderstorms to SW Colorado. Storms favored the higher terrain of the San Juan Mountains, Southwest Slope, and Grand Valley regions, but lower valleys received a few drops of rain as they drifted overhead. Activity continues this morning in those same regions, with generally light rain falling. East of the mountains, the environment stayed capped, leading to a mainly dry day with high temperatures that climbed well above average, once again. This morning, extensive cloud cover is in place across much of Colorado underneath the stream of monsoonal moisture.
No flash flooding was reported yesterday. For a look at yesterday’s rainfall totals, be sure and check out the STP map below.
