Issue Date: Friday, September 4th, 2020
\nIssue Time: 10:00AM MDT<\/p>\n

Summary:<\/h3>\n

The true-color satellite image below shows it was mainly sunny yesterday afternoon across Colorado. A few upper-level cirrus clouds moved over northern\/eastern Colorado, traveling through the northwest flow, but no precipitation was associated with them. A few fair weather cumulus clouds formed over the southern San Juan Mountains yesterday afternoon, but these were not rain producers either. No precipitation was measured across the state yesterday.<\/p>\n

The most interesting feature from yesterday is the return of the smoke plume from the Cameron Peak wildfire, which stretched from its source in Larimer County southeast into the plains of Eastern Colorado. This indicates some active fire behavior yesterday. This morning’s updated fire information agrees with this, showing an 866 acre increase in size yesterday and no increase in containment (see below). Continued fire activity and increased smoke is expected today (see the FTB) as well as tomorrow. This includes the William’s Peak fire expanding this weekend with the hot and dry conditions. Fortunately, the Pine Gulch and Grizzly Creek wildfires have some significant containment, so mainly just internal flare-ups are likely for these two fires.<\/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.
