Summary:<\/h3>\n

Yesterday’s ongoing subtropical moisture surge brought another round of scattered<\/span> rain showers and thunderstorms across much western Colorado yesterday. While instability in parts of western Colorado reached up to 1500 J\/kg of CAPE<\/span> and PW<\/span> values increased into the 0.8-inch range, the relatively quick steering flow kept storms moving quickly and helped minimize the flood threat. Still, periods of heavy rainfall occurred primarily over the San Juan Mountains and the San Luis Valley in afternoon and evening, with a few showers lingering into the overnight hours. Additionally, briefly heavy rainfall occurred over portions of the higher elevations of the Central Mountains in the afternoon, while a briefly intense storm occurred in Morgan County in the Northeast Plains with locally heavy rainfall there as well. There were no flood warnings or advisories issued yesterday, and there were no flood reports as of the time of this posting.<\/p>\n

The highest rain totals recorded for the day were as follows:<\/p>\n

– 1.6 inches recorded by a SNOTEL gage at Stump Lakes at 11,200 feet northeast of Durango (shown in the image below)
\n– 1.24 inches recorded by a CoCoRaHS<\/span> station 7 miles north of Bayfield
\n– 1.1 inches measured about 6 miles south of Pagosa Springs<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

In association with the briefly intense heavy rainfall that occurred over Morgan County, a CoCoRaHS<\/span> station outside of Fort Morgan recorded 0.55 inches of rainfall for the day. Additionally, there were several wind gusts reported yesterday, with the strongest being measured at 62 mph in Garfield County.<\/p>\n

At this time there are no rivers in flood stage, but rises have already begun and should continue over the next 24-hours with another day of rain ahead and saturated soils. This is especially true over the San Juan and San Luis Valley areas where 48-hour totals up to 1.5 to 2 inches have fallen.

\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 24-hour, 48-hour and 72-hour total precipitation contain bias corrections that are not disaggregated into the hourly estimates, so there will likely be some differences. 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.
