Summary:
After all of the action from the past 8-10 days, a downtick in precipitation was very much welcome across a soaked Colorado. The large-scale system that was in place finally moved east, leaving behind a drier and notably cooler air mass. Much of the state still managed to receive some rain and snow, but much less than previous days. From CoCoRaHS observers, the big winners in yesterday’s precipitation sweepstakes were:
Denver County: 0.76 inches
Pueblo County: 0.66 inches
Fremont County: 0.44 inches
Most locations that experienced rain received between a trace and 0.1 inches.
As far as the entire event is concerned (May 1 – May 10), take a look at the total precipitation map below. 7+ inches fell across parts of El Paso, Elbert, Douglas, Morgan, and Weld Counties!
No flash flooding occurred yesterday, but the Arkansas River remained in minor flood stage, and the South Platte River was in minor/moderate flood stage.
