Issue Date: Wednesday, August 24th, 2022
\nIssue Time: 10:50 AM MDT<\/p>\n

Summary:<\/h3>\n

Tuesday continued the trend of decreasing precipitation coverage across the state, as showers and storms were confined to even higher elevations than previous days. Precipitation amounts were also lighter, with QPE<\/span> data suggesting maximum totals of 0.25-0.75” in narrow swaths from the Northern Mountains into Park\/Chaffee Counties, and southward into the San Juans and Southeast Mountains.<\/p>\n

Two Flash Flood<\/span> Warnings were issued by the Boulder WFO<\/span> for portions of the Cameron Peak burn scar, while another Flash Flood<\/span> Warning<\/span> was issued for portions of the East Troublesome burn scar. State Highway 125 was temporarily closed in Grand County between Forest Service Road 112 and Trail Creek as a precaution, but no flooding was reported. Farther south, a small portion of I-70 was closed near Idaho Springs due to rockslides.<\/p>\n

Notable rainfall totals across the mountains include:<\/p>\n

• 0.70” near Nathrop
\n• 0.63” near Buena Vista
\n• 0.61” near Georgetown
\n• 0.48” near Pagosa Springs
\n• 0.40” near Grand lake<\/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.
