Summary:
A weak disturbance aloft and better instability helped produce more shower/thunderstorm activity along/east of the Divide yesterday (as compared to Friday). Wind shear was sufficient enough to support a few stronger thunderstorms, producing gusty winds, hail, and periods of moderate-to-heavy rainfall. No flash flooding was reported, however, as deep moisture was lacking. West of the Divide, a few isolated showers were able to develop over the higher terrain as the disturbance passed through, but a lack of moisture limited what Mother Nature could accomplish.
According to CoCoRaHS observers, these were the rainfall “winners” from the past 24 hours (as of 7:00 AM MDT):
Kiowa County: 0.55 inches
Prowers County: 0.44 inches
Weld County: 0.41 inches
El Paso County: 0.40 inches
Huerfano County: 0.33 inches
Fremont County: 0.30 inches
