STP 05-22-2016: Isolated Thunderstorms Rumbled, Otherwise Mostly Sunny and Dry

Issue Date: Friday, May 1st, 2015
Issue Time: 9:00 AM MDT

Summary:

Warm air aloft over drying lower levels kept much of Colorado capped off yesterday, only allowing for a few isolated showers/thunderstorms. The strongest storms rumbled east of the dryline across the far eastern plains, but they quickly moved into Kansas. Overall, yesterday could be categorized by the sunshine and warmth that most areas experienced, as well as the windy conditions across western Colorado. Overnight, isolated-to-scattered showers moved into northwestern Colorado, associated with the approaching cool front, and brought very little rain.

No flash flooding occurred yesterday. Please see the STP map below for a look at 24-hour precipitation totals.
