Issue Date: Thursday, August 11th, 2022
\nIssue Time: 10:15 AM MDT<\/p>\n

Summary:<\/h3>\n

Rainfall seemed to continue the trend from yesterday. The eastern half of the state saw no precipitation outside of a few reports of under 0.1” around the Urban Corridor. The west was a little more active, although most areas still received less than 0.15” if they received any precipitation. A severe thunderstorm<\/span> warning<\/span> was issued from 4:30 pm – 5 pm over the Colorado-Utah border east of Moab, but no flooding or severe weather was reported. This area received 0.12” according to a Mesowest gage, and Grand Junction to the north saw up to almost 0.1”. Areas where precipitation observations stayed below about 0.1” include Durango, Placerville, Gypsum, and El Jebel.<\/p>\n

0.38” near Dolores, 0.39” northwest of Rifle, and 0.24” north of Minturn were among the highest totals for Colorado yesterday. There was a Flood Advisory issued north of Eagle, from 6:36 pm – 9:45 pm, but no flooding was reported.<\/p>\n

The newest U.S. Drought Monitor update was released, shown as the image below. Due to the weekend’s significant rainfall, there was a decrease of land in most of the drought categories, from “None” to “Severe”. The percentage of area with no drought increased from 3.27% to 8.24%! The Abnormally Dry category decreased from 96.73% to 91.76%, and there were also decreases in the Moderate and Severe drought categories by approximately 4% – welcome improvements to conditions across Colorado.<\/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.
