Smoke and haze<\/span> from the Northwest U.S. wildfire activity continued to be transported into Colorado on Friday. Otherwise, it was another mostly dry day across the state with a very dry atmosphere overhead. There were two exceptions to this generalization. First, a line of weak to moderate thunderstorms popped up along a cool front on the border of Kit Carson County and Kansas. This resulted in up to 1.0 inch of rainfall before storms slipped into Kansas. There was even a report of 2.5 inch hail south of Burlington. This storm also prompted a Flash Flood<\/span> Warning<\/span>. Second, though odds were not in their favor, a line of mostly “dry” thunderstorms moved through the Grand Valley and into the Central Mountains yesterday afternoon. The inflow air to these storms had very low dewpoint temperatures, in the 20s and 30s, making it miraculous that they were able to produce any rainfall. They ended up producing up to 0.05 of an inch over Montrose County.<\/p>\n Flooding was not reported yesterday. For estimated rainfall in your area, check out radar-estimated map below.<\/p>\n
