Issue Date: Thursday, August 26th, 2021

Summary:<\/h3>\n

Wednesday began as a clear day for most of the state, with the exception of some lingering fog in the Southeast Plains after the overnight passage of a cold-front on Tuesday. As the day progressed, the afternoon daytime heating allowed for much more exciting weather. Isolated<\/span> convection<\/span> began on the Northeast Plains in the early afternoon, with storms moving eastward and out into Kansas and Nebraska before becoming more organized. Lines of showers and thunderstorms also fired in the Southeast Plains in the afternoon to evening, and a couple showers managed to pop up in the Urban Corridor around Southeast Denver. <\/p>\n

Overnight, activity picked up again with more storms in the Northeast and Southeast Plains. Widespread<\/span>, training<\/span> thunderstorms prompted a severe thunderstorm<\/span> warning<\/span> for large hail, up to half-dollar size, in Logan, Morgan, and Weld counties. Up to 1.65 inches of rain was reported by a CoCoRaHS<\/span> observer in Iliff, and up to 1.21 inches in Sterling. Nearby totals along the I-76 corridor on the Northeast Plains range between 0.22-0.56 inches as well. While no severe warnings were issued, the Palmer Ridge and Southeast plains saw plenty of storm coverage as well. As storms cleared out in the early morning hours, ample moisture left behind resulted in dense fog. Overnight visibility in Wray was reportedly only 1\/4 of mile.<\/p>\n

In Western Colorado, a low-pressure trough<\/span> moving eastward into the state late overnight into the early morning produced showers along the Northwest Slope and Grand Valley. Rainfall totals have been light so far, with morning observations catching just the very beginning of likely long-duration showers. <\/p>\n

No flooding was reported on Wednesday. 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 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

Note: The 24-hour, 48-hour and 72-hour total precipitation do not contain bias corrections today due to errors in the CoCoRaHS<\/span> data. This means there may be underestimations in QPE<\/span> over the southwest and southeast corners of the state. <\/span>
