For precipitation totals in your area, check out the State Precipitation Map at the end of today&rsquo;s post.<\/p>\n<p>With very little precipitation in the last few days, here is a summary of streamflow from the USGS National Water Dashboard for the 312 streamflow gauges recording across the state (table below). Most of the streamflow gauges in the state are normal for this day-of-year, 132 out of 312, with a majority of them located in the North, Central, and Front Range Mountains, as well as the Urban Corridor and Southeast Plains. This makes sense considering the lack of drought conditions on the eastern half of the state. A total of 103 out of 312 gauges are in some way below normal for this day-of-year, including <strong>7 gauges recording all time lows<\/strong>. Nearly all of these gauges are west of the <span class=\"glossaryLink\" aria-describedby=\"tt\" data-cmtooltip=\"&lt;div class=glossaryItemTitle&gt;Divide&lt;\/div&gt;&lt;div class=glossaryItemBody&gt;&amp;lt;!-- wp:paragraph {&amp;quot;textColor&amp;quot;:&amp;quot;white&amp;quot;} --&amp;gt;\n&amp;lt;p class=&amp;quot;has-white-color has-text-color&amp;quot;&amp;gt;the dividing line that separates the watersheds of the western and eastern United States; rivers west of the divide empty into the Pacific Ocean, while rivers east of the divide empty into the Atlantic Ocean or Gulf of Mexico&amp;lt;\/p&amp;gt;\n&amp;lt;!-- \/wp:paragraph --&amp;gt;&lt;\/div&gt;\" data-gt-translate-attributes='[{\"attribute\":\"data-cmtooltip\", \"format\":\"html\"}]'>divide<\/span>, on the Western Slope or the Grand Valley, where drought conditions are extreme. By contrast, only 15 total of 312 gauges across the state are above normal. Given the lack of precipitation across the state, it also makes sense that the vast majority (nearly 95%) of gauges have a steady stream stage, rather than rising or falling.

The map is updated daily during the operational season (May 1 &ndash; Sep 30) by 11AM.

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.
