Summary:
Yesterday was quite the grab bag of weather, with scattered showers and mostly clouds skies west of the Divide and mostly sunny, hot, and dry conditions to the east. A few isolated thunderstorms of the elevated and dry nature were able to fire up along the CO/KS border, producing basically nothing in the way of rainfall, but rather resulted in gusty outflow winds and lightning. The “big winners” regarding yesterday’s rainfall from CoCoRaHS observers are as follows:
La Plata County: 0.46 inches
Gunnison County: 0.45 inches
Delta County: 0.33 inches
Mesa County: 0.32 inches
The lone NWS storm report from the Grand Junction office indicates 0.65 inches of rain fell at Crested Butte (Gunnison County). Please be sure and check the STP map below for a statewide look at yesterday’s precipitation.
