Summary:
In what has been a wet start to the Spring/Summer seasons here in Colorado, yesterday was no different. A combination of upper-level dynamics and weak instability created scattered showers and thunderstorms throughout the day, bringing generally light-to-moderate rainfall to areas along and east of the Front Range. A few mountain locations west of the Divide received rainfall between a trace and 0.10 inches, but most stayed dry. According to CoCoRaHS observers, the big winners for rainfall totals yesterday were:
Weld County: 0.87 inches
Boulder County: 0.81 inches
Prowers County: 0.65 inches
Larimer County: 0.47 inches
Most other locations across the Front Range, Urban Corridor, Palmer Ridge, Northeast Plains, and Southeast Plains received between 0.1 and 0.4 inches.
No flash flooding was reported yesterday.
