Issue Date: Thursday, May 19th, 2022
\nIssue Time: 11:35 AM MDT<\/p>\n

Summary:<\/h3>\n

Early afternoon yesterday saw isolated<\/span> storm development along the Southern Front Range Mountains, Urban Corridor, and Palmer Ridge, which quickly developed into a line of thunderstorms, some severe, extending from Castle Rock to Limon. As the afternoon progressed, widespread<\/span> scattered<\/span> storms also developed in portions of the Central, San Juan, and Southeast Mountains, along with the Raton Ridge.  As storms moved eastward off the mountains and onto the plains, they were able to tap into rebounding atmospheric moisture and continue to grow in areal extent.<\/p>\n

A total of 8 severe thunderstorm<\/span> warnings were issued yesterday for cells across the Palmer Ridge and Southeast Plains. The biggest threat from these storms was high winds and damaging hail, though there were still some impressive precipitation totals. One CoCoRaHs<\/span> observer near Limon reported 0.93 inches of precipitation yesterday,<\/strong> and there were several 0.50+ inch observations in the surrounding area. In Holly, which was included in the region of “Low” flood threat yesterday, an observer reported 0.75 inches of rain.<\/strong> Overall precipitation totals range between Trace<\/span>-0.60 inches across the southeast quadrant of the state.<\/p>\n

Thankfully there were no flood reports yesterday associated with these storms, but there were reports of large hail and damaging winds. A storm chaser east of Two Buttes in Prowers Country reported up to 1.25 inch hail. A bit further north in Hartman, a trained spotter reported downed power lines and utility poles on County Road 28. A 61 mph gust was also recorded in Springfield, near the OK-KS borders.<\/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
