Summary:
Southwest flow aloft continued above Colorado yesterday, resulting in another warm and mainly dry day across the state. At the surface, a front and the return of some moisture from the southeast provided the fuel for a couple showers/thunderstorms. Due to the limited moisture, wetting rain was hard to come by, and the main impacts were gusty winds and lightning. According to CoCoRaHS observers, Boulder County was the big winner with reports of 0.79 inches and 0.34 inches of rainfall. Elsewhere, no more than a trace was reported.
No flash flooding was reported/observed yesterday. For a statewide look at 24-hour precipitation totals, please take a look at the Storm Total Precipitation map below.
