Summary:
As moisture climbed throughout the afternoon and into the early morning hours, so did the amount of showers and thunderstorms across the state. While most locations received only a light shower (less than 0.1”), a variety of places along the Front Range, Urban Corridor, Palmer Ridge, Northeast Plains, and Southeast Plains received north of 0.5 inches of rain. A few stronger thunderstorms produced moderate-to-heavy rain; in fact, rain rates from a storm near Berthoud yesterday afternoon were in the 1.0-1.5 inches/hour range, as estimated by the radar. Showers and thunderstorms lingered into this morning, with a few still currently ongoing. The wet period will continue today, so be sure to check in on the Flood Threat Bulletin forecast, scheduled to post by 11 AM.
No flash flooding occurred yesterday.
