Summary:
Once again, the Continental Divide was a barrier that kept low-level moisture from eastern Colorado from moving into western Colorado, separating the two sides into different weather “regimes.” Along and east of the Continental Divide, isolated showers/thunderstorms rumbled. Moisture was too shallow to produce heavy rain and subsequent flooding issues, so the wetting rain is a welcome event. The best rainfall occurred overnight/this morning across the eastern plains, as the low-level jet provided the additional boost for better storms. On the flip side of the coin, west of the Divide resembled a typical hot and dry summer day.
No flooding occurred yesterday. Please see the STP map below for a look at precipitation totals from the last 24 hours.
