Issue Date: Monday, July 11th, 2022
\nIssue Time: 10:30 AM MDT<\/p>\n

Summary:<\/h3>\n

Sunday featured another day of hot temperatures across the state with the upper-level ridge centered over southeast Colorado. Several record highs were broken again, including at Pueblo which reached 107 degrees! Subtropical moisture increased overhead on southwest flow aloft, with precipitable water<\/span> values noticeably higher than Saturday.<\/p>\n

Showers and storms developed by mid-day over the high terrain, with most activity initially confined to the mountains and interior valleys west of I-25. As the day progressed, widely scattered<\/span> activity was able to push into the I-25 corridor, Palmer Ridge, and portions of the Plains, with development aided by a number of subtle boundaries across the state.<\/p>\n

Most locations that experienced precipitation saw under a quarter of an inch, while isolated<\/span> totals up to 1-1.5” were observed under the most intense cells in the high terrain and northern Northeast Plains. A Flash Flood<\/span> Warning<\/span> was issued for north-central Ouray County, with multiple reports of flash flooding<\/span>. Local law enforcement reported County Road 4 washed out, with up to 3 feet of running water covering other county roads. Several CoCoRaHS<\/span> stations in the area also mentioned minor flooding, with a gauge 2.4 miles NNW of Ridgway recording 0.93”. A Flood Advisory was issued for Montrose County, although no flooding was reported.<\/p>\n

In terms of severe weather, a cell near Colorado Springs produced a 66-mph gust at the Colorado Springs Airport. Golf ball-sized hail was reported in the Northeast Plains north of Sterling, while small hail was reported with the cell that caused the flooding in Ouray County.<\/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.
