Issue Date: Thursday, August 29th, 2019
\nIssue Time: 10:10AM MDT<\/p>\n

Summary:<\/h3>\n

It didn’t take long for temperatures to rebound after the cool down with highs increasing as much as 10°F over the Northeast Plains. A dry air mass over the state kept the majority of the state rain free. Surface winds amplified during the afternoon hours, and a Red Flag<\/span> Warning<\/span> was issued for Moffat County and portions of the high terrains. The Shawnee Mountain fire became a bit more active, but firefighers were still able to make good progress reinforcing firelines. The Middle Mamm fire started by lightning on July 28th also continues to burn, but it is being managed closely (semi-controlled burn) to improve forecast health. It has currently burned 209 acres with no structures threatened. The Berthoud Pass ASOS recorded a 35 mph gust with RAWS stations recorded more general gusts in the 20-25 mph range according to MesoWest.<\/p>\n

Storms were able to break the cap<\/span> along a dryline<\/span> that set up over the eastern plains. While the slight chance of storms was forecast was for Baca County, storms popped just after 3:30PM over Yuma and Kit Carson Counties. As the storm dived south into Kit Carson County, it was able to drop some impressive storm totals due to dew points<\/span> in the upper 50°Fs and low 60°Fs. MetStorm estimated an isolated<\/span> area of rainfall up to 2 inches for the storm total. The storm dissipated just after 7:30PM, and there were no reports of flooding or hail as of this morning.<\/p>\n

\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.
