Issue Date: Tuesday, June 8, 2021
\nIssue Time: 9:50AM MDT<\/p>\n

Summary:<\/h3>\n

Monday was another day of afternoon thunderstorms, though largely along the Front Range, Urban Corridor and Eastern Plains. As forecasted, rainfall rates with these thunderstorms were generally low and gusty winds and small hail were the bigger threats, though some locations picked up a quick 0.1-0.5 inches under heavy downpours. Elsewhere, a high-pressure ridge in the southwest maintained hot and dry conditions in the western half of the state. Flooding was not reported on Monday. For additional rainfall totals in your area, check out the State Precipitation Map at the bottom of today’s post. <\/p>\n

Notably, one of the storms along the Urban Corridor produced a highly-observed landspout tornado near Platteville, CO yesterday (as a consequence of being near major urban areas, there are more people to see it). A landspout is a “subset of tornadoes that occur independent of parent mesocyclone” as defined by the American Meteorological Society. More simply, a landspout occurs when the rotation comes from the boundary layer<\/span>, rather than cyclonic rotation within a convective storm. Social media was full of great pictures and videos of the event, including this compilation video from Mile High Wx<\/a>.<\/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":"
