Summary<\/h3>\n

Yesterday was calm across most of the state of Colorado. There were no local storm reports for any kind of phenomena including precipitation, wind, or other severe weather. Flooding was not reported on Wednesday. For rainfall estimates in your area, check out our State Precipitation Map below.<\/p>\n

On Thursdays, the Western Regional Climate Center releases weekly updates to the US. Drought Monitor, seen in the map and table below. Much of the state is experiencing some sort of drought, and the Western Slope is still under D4 or “Exceptional Drought” conditions. However, a large portion of the Northeastern Plains has improved to no drought conditions. While the map itself looks dire, there has been slight improvement across the board for all drought conditions. The table below shows the difference in cumulative percent area experiencing each drought condition between last week and current conditions. Areas not experiencing drought or “None” have increased, while areas in D0 (Abnormally Dry) to D4 (Exceptional Drought) have decreased.<\/p>\n

The end of the work week is anticipated to remain dry, with unseasonably warms temperatures, especially in the western portion of the state.

The 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 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.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n
