Issue Date: Thursday, August 27th, 2015
\nIssue Time: 9:00 AM MDT<\/p>\n

Summary:<\/h3>\n

A monsoonal disturbance rotated through the high pressure ridge, moving into western Colorado during the afternoon hours. The disturbance produced abundant cloud cover and widespread<\/span> showers\/thunderstorms for locations along and west of the Continental Divide<\/span>. The abundant cloud cover helped to keep the flash flood<\/span> threat down due to a relative lack of instability to drive strong thunderstorms and torrential rainfall. Instead, most showers\/thunderstorms produced light-to-moderate rainfall, with rates low enough that terrain\/streams\/etc. could handle it without any issues.<\/p>\n

From CoCoRaHS<\/span> observers, the following locations were the big winners in rainfall totals yesterday:<\/p>\n

Mesa County: 0.94 inches
\nGunnison County: 0.68 inches
\nDelta County: 0.54 inches
\nLa Plata: 0.31 inches
\nMontrose County: 0.25 inches<\/p>\n

With fairly sparse observations across the western slope, it is important to check out the STP map below which shows radar-derived measurements.<\/p>\n
