Issue Date: Monday, June 7, 2021
\nIssue Time: 9:45AM MDT<\/p>\n

Summary:<\/h3>\n

Sunday, June 6 was a very typical summer set up, as mentioned in the flood threat bulletin yesterday. The first round of initial high elevation thunderstorms began to pop up in the late morning and early afternoon. Localized heavy rainfall resulted in another flood advisory issued for a portion of the Cameron Peak burn scar as Doppler radar indicated heavy rain, though no flood reports were made.<\/p>\n

Storms continued into the afternoon and evening moving eastward out of the high elevations onto the eastern plains. As storms moved eastward, the potential for severe thunderstorms<\/span> increased. Several severe storm warnings were issued, with wind gusts and large hail as the main threats, but still potential for localized heavy rainfall. For rainfall estimates in your area, check out the State Precipitation Map at the bottom of this post. <\/p>\n

Flash flooding<\/span> was observed last night by a trained spotter in Lamar (Northwestern Prowers County) in southeast Colorado. At 10:22 pm, a flash flood<\/span> warning<\/span> was issued and remained in effect until shortly after midnight. The text of the warning<\/span> and updates tells the story of observed flooding from the onset of heavy rain to flood waters receding, and the associated radar reflectively maps below also align with the issuance and update to get the full picture (note, the radar reflectivity map times are in Central time). <\/p>\n

According to NOAA Atlas 14, a rainfall rate of 1 inch\/hour in Lamar is between a 1-year and 2-year average recurrence interval, however a rainfall rate of up to 3 inches\/hour is between a 100-year and 200-year average recurrence interval! <\/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.\n<\/div>\n\"\"<\/a>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
