Summary:
Yesterday was marked by mostly sunny skies and above average warmth as an upper-level high pressure ridge built across the state. A few sprinkles over the high terrain during the overnight hours can be attributed to a weak shortwave disturbance that rotated above Colorado as the flow aloft turned southwesterly. Very little rainfall resulted from these showers, with all CoCoRaHS observers that experienced any rainfall reporting 0.05 inches or less.
No flash flooding was reported yesterday, but flooding did continue along portions of the Arkansas River in the Southeast Plains. Please see the STP map below for a look at precipitation totals from the last 24 hours.
