STP 09-17-2015: Scattered Light Rain across the High Country, Dry and Hot to the East

Issue Date: Thursday, September 17th, 2015
Issue Time: 9:00 AM MDT

Summary:

Mother Nature is not giving us much to talk about regarding storm total precipitation; her dynamics have favored light rain rather than thunderstorms, and the lack of moisture to the east has resulted in hot and dry conditions. Abundant sunshine could be found everywhere east of the mountains, with Red Flag Warnings reminding us that Colorado fire season is never really over. CoCoRaHS observers reported that showers usually resulted in less than 0.15 inches of rainfall, with a few locations receiving around 0.25 inches.

No flash flooding was reported yesterday.
