Summary<\/h3>\n

Isolated<\/span> thunderstorms on the Eastern Plains brought significant precipitation to the towns of Burlington and Holly yesterday evening and overnight, though most of the really heavy rainfall occurred on the Kansas side of the state border. 1.20 inches was recorded by CoCoRaHS<\/span> observers in Burlington, and according to their notes most of that precipitation fell in just 25 minutes overnight, along with pea-sized hail. Flood warnings were issued by the Pueblo and Goodland, KS WFOs<\/span> for both cells after Doppler radar indicated heavy rainfall, and minor flooding was reported in Burlington. The day was calm and dry for the rest of Colorado. For rainfall estimates in your area, check out our State Precipitation Map below.<\/p>\n

The Purgatoire River near Las Animas is currently in an “Action” stage, or near flood levels, as seen in the hydrograph<\/span> below. Many gauges along the Arkansas River and its tributaries (including the Purgatoire) are at or above normal streamflow for this time of year. Gauges across the state will be recording their peak streamflow for the year in the coming weeks, thanks to snowmelt runoff and additional spring rain. <\/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 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.\n

Note: The 24-hour, 48-hour and 72-hour total precipitation do not contain bias corrections today due to errors in the CoCoRaHS<\/span> data. This means there may be underestimations in QPE<\/span> over the southwest and southeast corners of the state. <\/span><\/p>\n<\/div>\n\"\"<\/a>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
