Summary:<\/h3>\n

The cutoff low<\/span> traversing Arizona and New Mexico continued to bring late season monsoonal moisture to Southwest Colorado yesterday. There were already showers along the Colorado-New Mexico border in the in the early morning hours. The general eastward progression of the low and daytime heating then allowed for scattered<\/span>, but more widespread<\/span>, storm development over the Southwest Slope, San Juan Mountains, Southeast Mountains, even inching up toward the Central Mountains and southern portion of the Front Range Mountains. Showers and thunderstorms lasted well into the evening hours and overnight, however rainfall rates and total accumulation remained low enough to prevent flooding.<\/p>\n

The following hyetograph<\/span> from Red Mountain, a gauge managed by CDOT<\/span>, shows the day’s steady rainfall beginning in the afternoon and continuing until just before midnight, with total of 0.26 inches of rain.
