Issue Date: Wednesday, August 18th, 2021
\nIssue Time: 9:15 AM MDT<\/p>\n

Summary:<\/h3>\n

As discussed in yesterday’s FTB, Tuesday was an overall calm day before the incoming pattern change. Scattered<\/span> afternoon showers developed in the high elevations of the Northern, Central, and Front Range mountains before spilling onto the Urban Corridor, while the Eastern Plains and the southern half of Colorado remained largely dry. <\/p>\n

In the Northern and Front Range Mountains, early afternoon flood advisories issued turned to a flash flood<\/span> warning<\/span> for portions of the Cameron Peak burn scar and nearby locations in Larimer County. A RAWS station on the southern extent of the burn scar recorded 0.18 inches in an hour, as seen in the precipitation accumulation time series plot below. Thankfully, no flooding was reported. <\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

As storms moved eastward off the mountains, limited available moisture dampened precipitation accumulations from thunderstorms. According to CoCoRaHS<\/span> and MesoWest observations across the area, only Trace<\/span> – 0.11 inches of rain fell. Instead, the main phenomena observed were high winds. Thunderstorm wind gusts exceeding 50 mph were reported across the Urban Corridor and adjacent Northeast Plains, from Keenseburg to Castle Rock– including a 63 mph wind gust recorded at KAPA-Centennial Airport. <\/p>\n

No flooding was reported on Tuesday. For rainfall estimates in your area, including antecedent conditions, 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 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
