Summary:<\/h3>\n

Yesterday was a very active day for emergency crews in Eagle and Pitkin Counties near Basalt. Radar derived between 0.5 and 0.6 inches over and near the Lake Christine burn area early last night. A Flash Flood<\/span> Warning<\/span> was issued by the NWS<\/span> around 5:45 PM yesterday, which extended until 11:45 PM last night. Emergency officials closed Frying Pan Road around 6 PM with reports of four individual mud slides over the road.  Water was reported over to be flowing over roadways throughout the area. Approximately 10 vehicles were stuck between the slides on Frying Pan Road, but luckily no injuries were reported. Frying Pan Road and Two Rivers Road were able to open by 9 PM but conditions remained variable as emergency crews removed debris. Mud slides and high water levels impacted up to 30 homes, and mud was reported to be around several homes. Luckily there were no injuries or reports of property damage in the area. The Central Mountains received the highest rainfall totals for the mountains yesterday as the shortwave<\/span> passed overhead. Radar derived up to an inch over central eagle County, with a CoCoRaHS<\/span> station reporting 1.23 inches near Avon.<\/p>\n

Multiple Areal Flood Advisories were issued over the Hayden Pass and Spring Creek burn areas. Radar derived up to 0.5 inches over the area but no flooding was reported. The other main rainfall story yesterday was over the far Northeast Plains. Three storms passed over the area between 8 PM and 3 AM yesterday, with radar deriving up to 2.5 inches over Yuma County. Another round of light rain passed through the area again this morning around sunrise, which contributed to the total.

\nThe map below shows radar-estimated, rainfall gage-adjusted Quantitative Precipitation Estimates (QPE<\/span>) across Colorado. The map is updated daily during the operational season (May 1 – Sep 30) by 11AM. The following six layers are currently available: 24-hour, 48-hour and 72-hour total precipitation, as well as maximum 1-hour, 2-hour and 6-hour precipitation over the past 24 hour period (to estimate where flash flooding<\/span> may have occurred). The 24-hour, 48-hour and 72-hour total precipitation contain bias corrections that are not disaggregated into the hourly estimates, so there will likely be some differences. The accumulation ending time is 7AM of the date shown in the bottom right corner. Also shown optionally are vulnerable fire burn areas (post 2012), which are updated throughout the season to include new, vulnerable burn areas. The home button in the top left corner resets the map to the original zoom.
