Issue Date: Tuesday, August 11th, 2020
\nIssue Time: 9:55AM MDT<\/p>\n

Summary:<\/h3>\n

Fairly quiet on the rainfall front again with the dry air remaining over the majority of the state. A cold front moved through eastern Colorado and helped cool high temperatures off in the area. Some capping prevented widespread<\/span> storm return, but an increase in low-level moisture behind the front helped produce some storms over the southern I-25 Corridor. Scattered<\/span>\/isolated<\/span> storms began to develop by early afternoon, but were mostly outflow<\/span> driven. In Pueblo County a small area of QPE<\/span> reached 1 inch, but generally storm totals were closer to 0.75 inches in the small storm cores that formed. Storms ended just after sunset as the instability dropped off. Flooding was not reported.<\/p>\n

Another fire started in western Colorado yesterday inside of Glenwood Canyon. The Grizzly Creek fire quickly grew with the dry fuels and it had burned 1,300 acres by last night. The canyon continues to stay closed to traffic today. There was a 45 mph wind gust recorded near Meeker, CO Monday evening, and as you can imagine, these brief winds are not helpful for fire containment. The Pine Gulch fire grew to 30,200+ acres, which has cause very poor air quality for the area.

\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.
