STP 09-04-2015: Widespread Light To Moderate Rainfall; No Flooding Problems

Issue Date: 9/4/2015
Issue Time: 9:15AM

Summary

An old monsoon surge and a large-scale trough acted to produce light to moderate rainfall for many areas across Colorado. With limited instability, and very fast steering winds, heavy rainfall was effectively ruled out. Instead, rain rates up to 0.5 inches per hour were common. In all, 24-hour rain totals up to 1 inch were observed, with the highest totals concentrated over the Urban Corridor, Front Range, Central Mountains and Western Slope.

Flooding was not reported yesterday. For estimated rainfall in your area, check out radar-estimated map below.
