Summary:<\/h3>\n

Finally, some rainfall to report! As mentioned in the FTB yesterday, a late-season plume of monsoonal moisture has been circulating around a cutoff low<\/span> located over Arizona, and that moisture finally creeped up into Colorado yesterday. By early afternoon, isolated<\/span> showers began to form in the Southwest Slope and San Juan Mountains, and then became more widespread<\/span> in the evening – expanding to the western slopes of the Southeast Mountains as well. <\/p>\n

A combination of low rainfall rates and dry soils prevented any flooding or especially large accumulations. CoCoRaHS<\/span> observers in Durango reported between 0.07-0.17 inches or rain yesterday, and nearby in Ignacio 0.30 inches was reported. Observers in Pagosa Springs reported between 0.20-0.37 inches of rain, and 0.40 inches in Chromo right above the New Mexico border. A RAWS station in Buckles, also near the New Mexico border, picked up 0.53 inches of rain between 4:00 pm and 10:00 pm yesterday, as seen in the hyetograph<\/span> below. <\/p>\n

For the rest of the state, Sunday remained hot and dry. Daily high temperatures in Eastern Colorado reached the 90s, with a high of 99 reported in Granada. Burlington reached 96 degrees, breaking a previous record of 95 set just last year. Along the Urban Corridor, Denver tied their record high minimum temperature (highest daily low temperature) of 60 degrees, previously set in 1948. <\/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
