Summary:<\/h3>\n

Monday started with some showers over the Northeast Plains and Northern Mountains with an exiting shortwave<\/span>, but skies began to clear throughout the day. As far as rainfall, it was very limited with the rather dry atmosphere. A surface boundary helped produce some light showers and a couple storms over the Palmer Ridge during the late afternoon hours. As this boundary pushed south, it helped provide lift for more showers along the southern border overnight. Overall, the totals were estimated around 0.25 inches. Flooding was not reported.<\/p>\n

The main story from yesterday was breezy conditions. Gusts reached to about 35 mph over the eastern plains and higher mountain elevations. Slightly lower wind speeds were present near the Wyman fire. The fire grew to 455 acres, so hopefully the break in winds today will help control the burn. Overnight temperatures dropped to 29F at Crow Creek (NE of Greeley), and frost was present along the Urban Corridor this morning. Over the mountains, temperatures dropped into the 20Fs with Alamosa near freezing.<\/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.
