Summary:
Warm, mainly dry weather continued across Colorado on Father’s Day Sunday. Temperatures were up to 10F above normal for this time of year especially west of the Continental Divide, where plenty of sunshine quickly warmed up the surface. To the east, higher moisture was present through the entire depth of the atmosphere causing a few clouds to form in the afternoon. However, precipitation was largely absent except for a few isolated locations near the Sangre de Cristo mountains and San Luis Valley where a few hundredths of an inch of rain fell.
A look at the state’s snowpack this morning shows that almost all basins are now complete snow-free (at least at the SNOTEL sites). The timing is right on par with the long-term climatology despite above normal conditions just a few weeks ago.
Flooding was not reported on Sunday. Check out the Precipitation Map below for rainfall estimates in your area.
