Summary:
The western US ridge remained firmly in place, leaving Colorado under the influence of subsidence. Afternoon high temperatures climbed, asserting themselves as the main weather story yesterday. A few isolated, weak thunderstorms rumbled over the San Juan Mountains and Southeast Mountains during the afternoon/evening as peak heating worked on residual moisture. Rainfall amounts were well below flash flood thresholds.
No flash flooding occurred yesterday. Snowmelt continues with the warm temperatures, and high elevation streams continue to rise. A few raised to near “action” levels, but no flooding was observed. Please see the STP map below for a look at 24-hour precipitation totals.
