Other than some afternoon cloud cover, it was the perfect summer day. Very hot temperatures were just to our west where several gages came within a couple degrees of the daily record highs. Rainfall was not recorded at any gages, but radar indicated some light precipitation may have fallen over eastern El Paso County.<\/p>\n<p>Below are the high temperatures from Thursday afternoon (source: MesoWest). That&rsquo;s quite the rebound from Tuesday, which is shown below yesterday&rsquo;s highs. DIA went from 68F to 82F, and other areas across the state also saw this 15-20F temperature swing. The most impressive area to look at is the eastern plains. This area received rainfall most of the day, so temperatures were not able to warm much.<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" class=\"aligncenter wp-image-11878\" src=\"https:\/\/archive-coftb.dewberryanalytics.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/06\/highs_20200611.png\" alt=\"\" width=\"700\" height=\"463\"\/><\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" class=\"aligncenter wp-image-11877\" src=\"https:\/\/archive-coftb.dewberryanalytics.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/06\/highs_20200609.png\" alt=\"\" width=\"700\" height=\"464\"\/><\/p>\n<p>For precipitation estimates in your area over the last 72-hours, scroll down to the State Precipitation Map below.<\/p>\n<h4 class=\"collapseomatic \" id=\"id6a1ddb023a335\" tabindex=\"0\" title=\"Click Here For Map Overview\">Click Here For Map Overview<\/h4><div id=\"target-id6a1ddb023a335\" class=\"collapseomatic_content \">\nThe map below shows radar-estimated, rainfall gage-adjusted Quantitative Precipitation Estimates (<span class=\"glossaryLink\"  aria-describedby=\"tt\"  data-cmtooltip=\"&lt;div class=glossaryItemTitle&gt;QPE&lt;\/div&gt;&lt;div class=glossaryItemBody&gt;&amp;lt;strong&amp;gt;Q&amp;lt;\/strong&amp;gt;uantitative &amp;lt;strong&amp;gt;P&amp;lt;\/strong&amp;gt;recipitation &amp;lt;strong&amp;gt;E&amp;lt;\/strong&amp;gt;stimate; an estimate of the amount of precipitation that has fallen at a particular location or across a region based on several different data sources, such as radar or satellite; QPE is often calculated using remotely-sensed data sources&lt;\/div&gt;\"  data-gt-translate-attributes='[{\"attribute\":\"data-cmtooltip\", \"format\":\"html\"}]'>QPE<\/span>) across Colorado.
