\nIssue Time: 9:00 AM MDT<\/p>\n
Mostly sunny and hot to start yesterday, becoming partly sunny during the afternoon as scattered<\/span> thunderstorms developed. Along and west of the Continental Divide<\/span>, storms did not amount to much, as far as heavy rainfall is concerned. A bit more rain attended storms to the north and east of the Palmer Ridge, but the best rainfall of the day occurred along and south, and to the east, of Palmer Ridge. As the afternoon turned to the evening hours, most activity diminished with the loss of daytime heating, but areas along and south of I-70 from the Front Range and east to the CO\/KS border continued to receive scattered<\/span> thunderstorms. Heavy rain and slow-moving storms prompted a flash flood<\/span> warning<\/span> for southern\/eastern El Paso County, and flash flooding<\/span> was reported in Security (El Paso County) where flooded roads were observed.<\/p>\n There were quite a few heavy rain observations reported to the National Weather Service Office in Pueblo. Take a look at a few of the highlights below:<\/p>\n 4 miles W of Ellicott (El Paso): 2.73 inches
\n6 miles W of Fountain (El Paso): 2.39 inches
\nShriever AFB (El Paso): 2.30 inches
\n3 miles W of Fountain (El Paso): 1.14 inches<\/p>\n
