“Well, woke up to a snowy surprise. Also, noting that there is a pink tinge to the snow. Desert dust? It was very windy the last 24 hours.”<\/p><\/blockquote>\n
Based on their note, a bit of tint to the snow along with the noted high winds makes their guess of desert dust the likely culprit. Generally, precipitation totals were between Trace<\/span>-0.15 inches for the Northwest Slope, Northern Mountains, and a bit of spillover to the Front Range and Urban Corridor. The rest of the state remained dry.<\/p>\n
The main weather story for yesterday though was the continued wind. High wind reports were recorded all over Western and Southern Colorado, though conditions were blustery really everywhere. Gusts over 80 mph were recorded in Huerfano, San Miguel, Garfield, and Pueblo counties – including an 86-mph guest in Walsenburg yesterday afternoon!<\/strong><\/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
