Summary:<\/h3>\n

Another shortwave trough<\/span> passing over the state provided ample life to produce precipitation for most areas on Thursday. Similar to Wednesday, there were once again two main regions of heavier precipitation: 1) along and north of I-70 west of the Divide<\/span>, and 2) over and surrounding the Palmer Ridge.<\/p>\n

In the first heavier precipitation region (Grand Valley, Northwest Slope, Northern Mountains), QPE<\/span> data suggests a general 0.25-0.50” with locally higher amounts. Some notable locally higher gauge observations include:<\/p>\n

• 0.67” northeast of Craig
\n• 0.65” near Rio Blanco Lake
\n• 0.51” near Craig<\/p>\n

Also of note in this region, temperatures were cold enough for snow to be observed along I-70 near Vail Pass. Additional reports of snow showers\/flurries were received across the Central Mountains and San Juans.<\/p>\n
