Issue Date: Sunday, August 9th, 2020
\nIssue Time: 10:45AM MDT<\/p>\n

Summary:<\/h3>\n

Storms mainly avoided Colorado yesterday, but a couple of storms fired over Cheyenne County along the eastern border before moving into Kansas. These storms are visible at 5PM yesterday on the visible + IR “sandwich” satellite image with cold cloud-tops (yellow\/red colors on image below). These storms brought the only significant rainfall to the state, with rain gauges reporting up to 0.60 inches of accumulation. QPE<\/span> indicates up to 2 inches of rain fell in the strongest storm core near the Kansas border, but limited gauges in the area make this hard to verify. Clouds and showers developed over the mountains (blue on satellite image below), but little to no rainfall made it to the ground as the highest CoCoRaHS<\/span> rain gauge totals were 0.01 inch.<\/p>\n

The Pine Gulch Fire continued to burn in western Colorado as its plume of smoke was visible on satellite imagery (see below), which continued to flow northeast into the Northern Mountains. An updated mapping of the fire indicates over 21,000 acres have been burned, which is only 7% contained as of last night. Evacuation and pre-evacuation warnings were sent out by emergency managers yesterday. If you live near the area, stay up to date on this fire. A Facebook page has been created for disseminating fire-related updates and evacuation information, which can be found here: https:\/\/www.facebook.com\/PineGulchFireCO<\/a><\/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.
