\nIssue Time: 9:20AM MDT<\/p>\n

Summary:<\/h3>\n

Active weather day across the state that began with rainfall over western Colorado Sunday night into Monday morning. This system moved east throughout the morning and produced abundant cloud cover over the state. Behind the system, there was a bit of clearing, which allow for some thunderstorms to develop over western Colorado (increased instability). Hail was reported with these storms that varied in size from 0.25 inches to 1.25 inches. A stronger storm in eastern Mesa County and western Pitkin County helped produce 24-hour totals around 1 inch with the multiple rounds of showers. Thankfully, rainfall was gradual enough that it didn’t cause flooding issues over the Lake Christine burn area. Several reports from CoCoRaHS<\/span> stations were over 1 inch, but the Roaring Fork gage at Glenwood Springs saw only about a 0.5 feet increase in gage height. Strong winds were also reported in the range of 46 to 63 mph. Leadville reported 1.5 inches of snow, which sits at 10,151 feet, so not too surprising. Rainfall was more stratiform over eastern Colorado with 24-hour totals up to 0.5 inches in southern Washington County. Unfortunately, the areas experiencing extreme drought received the least amount of precipitation.<\/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.
