Issue Date: Sunday, June 20, 2021
\nIssue Time: 9:30 AM MDT<\/p>\n

Summary:<\/h3>\n

Scattered<\/span> thunderstorms began to develop in the high elevations of the Northern, Central, and Front Range Mountains in the early afternoon yesterday. As the storms progressed eastward, they tapped into additional moisture and instability, which allowed for larger and better organized lines of thunderstorms. This resulted in severe weather up and down the entire eastern half of the state yesterday. High winds and damaging hail were the biggest threats, and high wind reports were made from the Nebraska Border to the Oklahoma Border, including a 92 mph wind gust in Limon!<\/strong> Large hail, up to 1.25 inches, and several reports of a land spout tornadoes were made in Eastern Adams County in the Northeast Plains. In additional to the severe thunderstorms<\/span>, widespread<\/span> 0.25-0.50 inches of rain fell across much of the Northeast Plains, as seen on the map below. <\/p>\n

Elsewhere, evening flash flood<\/span> warnings were issued for the Junkins and Decker fire burn scars in the Central and Southeast Mountains as storms trained from west to east, however no actual flooding was reported. On the Western Slope, storms were less organized but some isolated<\/span> showers dropped measurable precipitation, though generally light enough to not appear in the map below. <\/p>\n

Flooding was not reported on Saturday. For rainfall estimates in your area, check out the State Precipitation map below. <\/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.
