Summary:<\/h3>\n

Boy did it get windy yesterday with the storms yesterday! This typically happens when thunderstorms become outflow<\/span> driven due to low surface moisture. Soundings yesterday did have the inverted-V<\/span> pattern, which means there is a large dew point<\/span> depression (difference between dew point<\/span> and temperature). As you can probably guess, these storms do not produce a lot of precipitation. The most impressive downburst yesterday was at the NCAR lab in Boulder, which recorded a 82 mph gust. As expected, there was damage. In Arvada, 3-inch tree limbs were broken, shingles were blown off homes and power lines were broken (power outages were also reported). After NCAR experienced the gust, NWS<\/span> Boulder issued a Severe Thunderstorm<\/span> Warning<\/span> for the outflow boundary<\/span>. Winds decreased a bit as they moved east – DIA recorded a 58 mph gust. Over Bennett, the guest was measured at 65 mph. That’s still very impressive! Storms were also present over the Northeast Plains, and again, impressive wind gusts with rain totals only around 0.25 inches. Zero visibility was reported in Yuma County north of Yuma where gusts in the area were in the 60 to 70 mph range. Back west, winds were also whipping around under storms that formed. Gusts between 50 and 60 mph were recorded near Fruita, Rifle, Kremmling and Craig at ASOS stations. Rainfall estimations were under 0.10 inches in the area.<\/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.
